Iceland has excellent Geothermal resources. Hawaii, if you actually sit down and look at where the geothermal resources are (big island and a tiny amount on Maui, not where 90+% of electricity is used on Oahu), will force you to conclude that they couldn't copy Iceland and are stuck with other renewables.

The distance from the big island to Oahu appears to be feasible for an underwater HVDC cable (eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basslink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basslink ). If the geothermal was cheap enough, this might be worthwhile.
