"And just five months later - on October 13, 1891 - the co-partnership was dissolved and Hawaiian Electric was incorporated, with total assets of $17,000 and William W. Hall as its first President."
The overthrow was in 1893, two years later. HECO was completely endorsed by Kalakaua. He viewed it mainly for residential lighting but the descendants of the missionaries saw giant oil-fired power plants increasing plantation output. The oil-fired and diesel power plants were so huge, there was excess to power the company villages, with the company stores, and the company housing. The more the availability, the more housing. The more housing, the more people, the more businesses.
There was no giant crafted evil scheme for HECO. HECO is about as wille-nille as any network can be laid out. What rock head Punatics associate with evil, is poor efficiency. It still remains for Nextera to show what they bring to the table but they are already saying they can't meet the state goal of 100% alternative energy. PUC is going to have to go down a pro-con checklist and determine if it is more positive for the customers.

King David La'amea Kamanakapu'u Mahinulani Nalaiaehuokalani Lumialani Kalkaua . November 16, 1832 - January 20, 1891
King David valued the commercial and industrial prosperity of his kingdom highly. He was a true sovereign,a servant of what he wanted to be a happy, prosperous and progressive people. To prove this he sailed to San Francisco and then Washington D.C to work out the “Reciprocity Treaty” also known as the “Concession of 1875” for the power of the foreigner was greatly increased to the detriment of the native Hawaiian . The Reciprocity Treaty allowed Hawaiian products to be sold in the United States without customs or duties. The treaty was signed in Washington D.C.on January 30, 1875, and ratified by the U.S. Senate on May 31, 1875.The US has always seen Hawaii as a place in the middle of the ocean necessary for defending America’s interests both military and commercial applying the Monroe Doctrine when neccessary. An example can be seen in the actions of US government at the time.
General Schofield first visited Hawaii in 1872 to look for a harbor suitable for a coaling station he sent a secret report to the Secretary of War recommending Pearl Harbor this was the first step toward annexation and this world-class anchorage and coaling station was given to the U.S. Navy for its use in 1887 as part of the Sugar Reciprocity Treaty that was ammended in the Bayonett Constituion of 1887. The story will be told for half truths can only end in falsehoods. Conspiracies can only be successful with the cooperation of the press. See how it works?
Now put this in perspective as to the Panic of 1873 which was three years into the “Long Depression” This will give motivation for ANNEXATION.
Remember King David was a Oxford educated monarch.
The only reason I go here is because HEI and NEE go to a lot of trouble to tell how the king approved of their company why is that so important the king was deceased when the partnership was formed? Anyhow I am working on my next powerpoint that will show the unhealthy alliance that will be formed if HEI and NEE are allowed to merge.
November 16,1886 Electrification of the palace. The next year the king power was taken away.Hum
The last public appearance of the last King of Hawaii was to celebrate his birthday he would leave the end of November 1890 never to see his kingdom again.

Yet clearly I wrote “Today 124 years ago HECO incorporated October 13,1891
HECO is like a hooker selling her assets. She got them so she sells them but she still has them. So she sells them again and again.”[
