$5.32 at the Kurtistown 76 aka 7-11.
$4.99 at the Keaau Shell.
$4.89 at the Hilo Safeway.
This *is* a local issue because some companies are taking advantage, like Par Pacific, a Texas company that owns the Kurtistown 76 and doesn't mind fucking over rural Hawaii residents at every possible opportunity.
We need state (or maybe county?) government to go hard on solar and geothermal. Upgrade the grid to handle residential and business solar. Provide tax incentives to businesses that provide free solar charging for xx% of their employees/customers, and set that percentage to rise every year.. Solar panels are dirt cheap and have a 30 year lifespan. Charging stations wouldn't even require batteries, they can just charge when enough sun is available. Imagine the financial burden removed from everyone on our island once the investments are made. How much more resilient we'll be to influences from outside the state. We should be making these types of public investments in every area: electricity, automated farming, affordable apartments...
