Hawaii energy rebate: up to $350 for mini split A/C

[TomK]

I hope that most people that live in Puna understand that during the August through mid-October season the trade winds tend to die down and those on the coast, i.e., in the sun-belt, experience very warm temperatures. It's not unusual for temperatures to get into the mid-90s with high humidity and no wind. Couple that with a tin roof you are looking at indoor temperatures of well over 100 degrees. A few years ago I recorded a temperature of over 140 degrees in my bedroom.

Now, I understand the argument against A/C, it's not very green, etc., but as AaronM mentioned, in some places it's a matter of life or death.
