^Mooallem, Jon. Larry Ellison Bought an Island in Hawaii. Now What?. The New York Times Magazine. September 23, 2014 [1 December 2017]. （原始内容存档于2021-03-19） –通过www.nytimes.com. At a public meeting on Lanai last year, an Ellison representative explained that his boss wasn’t drawn to the island by the potential for profits but by the potential for a great accomplishment — the satisfaction one day of having made the place work. For Ellison, it seemed, Lanai was less like an investment than like a classic car, up on blocks in the middle of the Pacific, that he had become obsessed with restoring. He wants to transform it into a premier tourist destination and what he has called “the first economically viable, 100 percent green community”: an innovative, self-sufficient dreamscape of renewable energy, electric cars and sustainable agriculture.
