I hate to point out the obvious here, but if the island has such an active volcanic presence why not install geo-thermal power instead of wind or solar. Using the steam from the heated water as a fresh water supply for the towns?

The conundrums of an ever-evolving species of survivors on this beautiful planet! May they resolve their small disputes peacefully, and control their fecundity to conserve and hold on to the bit of humanity they represent, and grow like mosses and fauna in the rocks there! Hopefully sustainability is part of their every day, so that unlike the great hulking, physically powerful, enduring, high calorie requiring, American Neanderthal of very recent evolution in America, they will not bloom brightly, only to die, lacking the resources they require for life itself! Easter Islanders taught humanity this lesson first, and now, the great, hulking, synthetically fed, hormone and antibiotic supported, American Neanderthal takes this route in huge displays of unemployables, with prepaid bus trips out of major work centers, like New York City, to go away and die, without even decent medical care, in soup kitchens, Shanty Towns, Tent Cities and Shacks built of garbage on outskirts of cities, even bunking in with parents, grandparents, for survival, victims of corporatism and the evil side of Capitalism! Wind Turbines provide a meager but perpetual power supply for modest folks living in sustainable circumstances, not Corvette motor-cars, Cadillacs, and the likes of McMansions! The days of the great American Neanderthal, over, and the end to his psycho-consumerism too! May he RIP! His lesson well taken by a thankful humanity.

Thanks for this – an interesting question. With land ownership should come a responsibility for and sense of stewardship of the local flora and fauna – incl. humans – and I think the options discussed here are useful.
