Fascinating commentary...this thread is unanimous in excoriating HECO operations, policy, and  management...yet applauds a a decision for the status quo.

Perhaps someone can explain to me how this decision is Ige's great accomplishment.  Is it because he has accomplished nothing else?

How is it an excellent decision for the State of Hawaii?  Is it a reaffirmation of local xenophobia and ethnocentrism?

Finally what next?  More aspirational legislation such as GEMS?   

It will be fascinating to watch how those who oversee The Rail, HPD, UH and GEMS will now guide HECO to a 100% renewable future.

You can't get entertainment like this anywhere else for free. Free that is unless you are a tax and rate payer.
