"Hawaii Tries Green Tools in Remaking Power Grids NAALEHU, Hawaii — Two miles or so from this tiny town in the southernmost corner of the United States, across ranches where cattle herds graze beneath the distant Mauna Loa volcano, the giant turbines of a new wind farm cut through the air.
Sixty miles to the northeast, near a spot where golden-red lava streams meet the sea in clouds of steam, a small power plant extracts heat from the volcanic rock beneath it to generate electricity."
I found this lede very compelling to read. Without reading the title I am drawn into this story; I want to know what is happening and why. It is very descriptive and sets the perfect scene to make the reader want to read more. It is always nice when you can be sent somewhere in the beginning of a story, instead of being dropped right in without knowing what is going on.
