Everyone in the State could have solar now if we spent $10 Billion on that instead of rail.
...
Oahu is the "economic engine of the State"
As the economic powerhouse, why not BOTH rail and free solar? The new Kahauiki Village which Oahu is building for their homeless population already plans to provide residential units with free solar electric:
Solar photovoltaic panels with a battery storage system will supply electricity to the residential units. The community buildings (day care center, laundromat, etc.) will be connected to Hawaiian Electric Co.’s grid. Organizers say the fully built-out project of 153 homes and associated buildings will contain 1,392 photovoltaic modules producing 494.16 kilowatts using 252 solar thermal collectors.
