Identical as described in Power Alternative the sole proprietorship to bring green innovations to market, but due to resistance or obstacles of oil politics and oil-driven markets, it was difficult to secure funds. However, now as 'going green' is a global trend; but was unable to compete for market share in green, clean energy ready dominated by recognized green tech; and as automakers surged to electrify vehicles, in '05, it was evident claims in EV markets, would not be possible. Power Alternative as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) would hope to enlist professionals, techs, and personnel needed to form a team/staff, and secure desired finances focused on modifying green engines for power and mechanisms for applied in watercrafts, surface & submarine vessels and deep-sea platforms mainly for operations to capture/extract ocean plastics & debris to recycle and reprocess into value added products for retail and reuse; as well as, to respond/mitigate oil spills at sea and to station offshore to support oil remediation activities on shores. Ideally, as an LLC, proprietary innovations will be perfected for penetrate markets to promote change for future growth and progress to be ecologically sensible. Partnerships formed hopes to facilitate means to secure permits, insurance and/or variance as needed for ultimate objective of developing Fleet of Green SWATH, Green Shipyards and Network of Ocean Platforms to support various operations from Longshore Services, Cargo/Freight Transport and offshore Marina, open sea farm/ranch for Kelp & Fish...or remote Fish/Crab Processor. Optimistically, revenue will be generated to finance actions to negotiate contract to purchase properties on which to develop 'mixed use' self-contained, self-sustained EcoIndustrial campus; green affordable homes, multiplex, dormitories/hotels and the EcoPlaza.

Soon after establishing Hale o Na Pua, plans were drafted to develop a custom Luau Garden Complex and in that plan an innovative green power system was borne. Though the concept of a Luau Garden & Beach Park was accepted, the idea for its green power system was not. Loan applications to local banks, '85-'87, were rejected due to Alaska's economy immersed in new found wealth stemming from energy (oil) production. Then efforts turned to SBIR/STTR and other gov. agencies, from '87 thru '94, submitting requests for R&D funds, but to no avail. As result of submissions to gov. numerous concepts were perceived for various of applications for power generation, motor power, recycling, filtration, desalination and wastewater management. In Jan. '95, Power Alternative was established thinking that a 'scientific research business service' will secure the funds desired to develop a prototype of any clean, green machines (EcoTech) and environmental systems (EcoSystems) for proof of concept. Relocated back home to Hawai'i, in '09; knowing that most of power grids in Hawai'i are monopolized by Hawaiian Electric Industries (HEI), and that politicians tend to commit capital improvement to tourism & visitors' industry, it was understood that securing seed will be difficult. Initially, Power Alternative was registered as a Non-Profit company, but in March '22, the company was reregistered as LLC to facilitate new approach to secure funds and/or form partnerships to address climate change and impact. Since Y2K, markets surged to 'go green' applying PV, Wind, Wave, Geothermal and otherwise for power, while vehicles transition to electric, hydrogen and alternate fuel. Now, Power Alternative LLC aims to design green motors for private and commercial watercrafts, then scale up for Maritime vessels like Freighters, Cruise Ships, Ferries and etc. Ultimate ambition is to build a fleet of custom vessels to clean-up plastics & debris in oceans and on shores, as well as respond to Oil spills.

Specializing in gourmet Shave Ice confection offering 128 flavors 12 of which are sugar free. Would like to secure the funds or financial ally to reestablish this operation as classic Car-Hop food service to generate immediate cash flow to support R&D activities at Power Alternative LLC so various EcoTech prototypes can be developed for evaluation.

Acted as ordered/required applying skills to perform fire suppression and basic life support when hazard or situations threaten life or property. HAZMAT Team; Engineer (4 yrs) for all fire apparatus and (land) rescue vehicles. (3 yrs) primary Driver for Paramedics. Revelation that earnings at Hawaiian Kine, selling Shave Ice, was significantly greater than wages at AFD, so I decided to take option for early retirement in Feb. '98, to pursue ambitions to develop the EcoPlaza...and in Feb. '99 entered a contract to purchase a 5 ac. parcel in Midtown Anchorage, then aside early thaw spoiling campaign to generate seed funds to develop the EcoPlaza...mother passing drained what reserves available from retirement.

It was due to popular demand of Hawaiian Services that prompted drafting plans to develop the EcoPlaza featuring Hawaiian Luau Garden & Beach Park sustained by green and clean tech. I also drafted the articles of incorporation for Kalanu'uhonua dedicated to perpetuate Hawaiian culture and arts; this corporation was filed as a Non-Profit Corporation in State of Alaska to take advantage of perks provided a non-profit entity, however, it never filed for federal status as any 501c; despite Hale o Na Pua closing it's doors in 2/91...demands for Luau Catering & Hula Show continued thru '07.
