Continuation from A Dream of Energy

A user left a comment on my Dream of Energy blog saying that although he agrees for a greener Maui, if the sugarcane were to be removed, we would have a bigger problem with dust and erosion.
I had a spring thought that instead of sugarcane, what if we were to replace that with pili grass instead?






Pili grass IS a native plant and it was used long ago as thatching for hale (or houses).


A man that used to be my mentor (I won't say his name because he hates internet. hahaha!) said that the islands used to be FULL with pili grass!
Could this be a good idea???
