I copied this from the petition site to try and stop the Navy from covering ford island with a solar farm. There are lots of flat spaces on the Island of Oahu that the navy owns that are less historic and more remote why arent they using those???

Ford Island is the only Aviation Battlefield in America. This was ground zero on December 7, 1941 when Imperial Japanese Navy forces attacked without warning, an act that brought America into World War II. The Ford Island Runway and the iconic red & white Control Tower, as seen in the movie Pearl Harbor, survived that date which lives in infamy, and were designated as National Historic Landmarks in 1964. The National Trust for Historic Preservation named Ford Island one of 11 "Most Endangered Historic Places" in 2001.
The US Navy now plans to cover the 300 foot x 4,000 foot runway with 60,000 black photovoltaic panels and surround this historic space with a 7 foot high fence.

I remember when the museum got their Zero delivered....
