Believe me, I'm not looking at this from the viewpoint of an investor. I see it through the customer lens.
If I can get a sufficient home power system for the same $200/mo I pay HELCO, why should I continue on the grid?
As more and more consumers figure this out and disconnect; fewer and fewer gridosaurs will be left to pay for their archaic and costly technology. I see the grid exodus snowballing quickly as technology continues to advance. Utility investors will have to figure out other ways to screw consumers.
By the way, I don't expect to change anyone's mind here as much as let like minded individuals know that they're not alone.
Surge me not, HELCO.
