The electrical grid distribution system is not obsolete and has become even more efficient over the last 20 years or so. Many mainland electrical customers can pay as little as 6 cents per KWH and have virtually unlimited electricity. Try that with a "micro-grid" or home solar systems. I will grant you that the grid system on Big Island isn't up to standards, but that is another story.
