It may have been nearly 65 years since bombs have fallen on Hawai`i,

but that doesn't mean a company like Tesoro Hawai`i can't make a few

bucks off war. That's right: Tesoro's two oil refineries in the state

will soon be turning out precious, precious jet fuel for the U.S. Army.

Now on the great scale of war contracts this is pretty low—just $6.03

million—but there were six bids vying for the honor of supplying the

army with fuel for helicopters and… well, I guess just their

helicopters. And good ol' MECO drops a couple notches on news last week

that "seized pistons" at their main power generator blacked out West

Maui and Upcountry for 90 minutes. For shame… MTW
