He Tātaritanga Hōhonu o ngā Wero o te Tuku Hiko o Āwherika ki te Tonga

I muri i te whakawhāititanga o te hiko i Āwherika ki te Tonga, i whakapuaki a Chris Yelland, he tangata rongonui i roto i te rāngai pūngao, i ngā āwangawanga i te 1 o Hakihea, me te whakanui ko te "raruraru tuku hiko" i roto i te whenua ehara i te mea he otinga tere. Ko te pūnaha hiko o Āwherika ki te Tonga, e tohuhia ana e ngā pakaru maha o ngā miihini whakaputa hiko me ngā āhuatanga kore e taea te matapae, kei te raru tonu i te koretake nui.

I tēnei wiki, i whakapuaki a Eskom, te kamupene hiko ā-motu o Āwherika ki te Tonga, i tētahi atu wāhanga o te wehewehe hiko ā-motu nā te maha o ngā pakaru o ngā mīhini hiko me te wera nui i te marama o Noema. Ko te tikanga o tēnei he motuhanga hiko toharite ia rā tae atu ki te 8 hāora mō ngā tāngata o Āwherika ki te Tonga. Ahakoa ngā kupu whakaari a te Runanga Āwherika ā-Motu i te marama o Mei kia mutu te whakahekenga hiko i te tau 2023, kāore tonu i tutuki te whāinga.

Ka ruku hohonu a Yelland ki te hītori roa me ngā take uaua o ngā wero hiko o Āwherika ki te Tonga, me te whakanui i tōna uauatanga me te uauatanga o te whakatutuki i ngā otinga tere. I te whakatata mai o ngā hararei Kirihimete me te Tau Hou, ka nui haere te koretake o te pūnaha hiko o Āwherika ki te Tonga, ka uaua ai ngā matapae tika mō te ahunga o te tuku hiko o te motu.

"E kite ana mātou i ngā whakarerekētanga o te taumata o te whakahekenga kawenga i ia rā—"ngā pānuitanga i tukuna, kātahi ka whakahoutia i te rā i muri mai," te kī a Yelland. Ko te nui me te auau o ngā pakaru o ngā huinga whakaputa hiko he mea nui, ka puta he raruraru, ka aukati hoki i te hokinga o te pūnaha ki te āhua noa. Ko ēnei "raru kore i whakamaheretia" he arai nui ki ngā mahi a Eskom, ka aukati i tō rātou kaha ki te whakatū tonu.

I te mea he nui te koretake o te pūnaha hiko o Āwherika ki te Tonga me tōna tūranga matua i roto i te whanaketanga ōhanga, he wero nui tonu te matapae i te wā e ora katoa ai te whenua i te taha ōhanga.

Mai i te tau 2023, kua kaha haere te take wehewehe hiko i Āwherika ki te Tonga, ā, kua pā kino ki te mahi whakaputa ā-rohe me te oranga o ia rā o ngā tāngata whenua. I te marama o Poutū-te-rangi o tēnei tau, i kīia e te kāwanatanga o Āwherika ki te Tonga he "āhua ā-motu mō ngā āhuatanga kino" nā te kaha o ngā here hiko.

I a Āwherika ki te Tonga e whakatere ana i ana wero uaua mō te tuku hiko, kei te kore e mārama te ara ki te whakaoranga ōhanga. E whakaatu ana ngā tirohanga a Chris Yelland i te hiahia nui mō ngā rautaki whānui hei aro atu ki ngā pūtake me te whakarite i tētahi pūnaha hiko pakari, pumau hoki mō te heke mai o te motu.
