Want Net metering from Helco? You'll have to wait

[Royall]

The sad thing is, those of us that are retired can't afford the cost of going off grid. We are at the mercy Helco. If they raise rates to offset the moneys lost to PV, It will be those on fixed income or other low income families to carry the load. It goes for the cost of gas too. The all the new technology in fuel efficient (gas and electric) transportation cost more than a majority of the people can afford and they have to wait several years for the better off people to upgrade to newer and better models before it starts to trickle down. If you have the money, you can save on electricity and gas. Other wise you just have to bite the bullet, or invest in Vaseline.
