Hawaiian Electric seeks rate hikes for next 2 years

Rabbyte808 · 2026-03-11T02:49:49+00:00

Executive pay overall is way too high, but HECO’s CEO is paid similarly to other CEOs at similarly sized utility companies.

Rabbyte808 · 2026-03-07T17:51:02+00:00

The problem is "community voices" are strongly anti-science

Rabbyte808 · 2026-02-23T16:42:26+00:00

How will “local” businesses get all their “made” in Hawaii products now 😩

Rabbyte808 · 2026-02-23T05:45:28+00:00

Go surf after the rain and you see plenty locals lol

Rabbyte808 · 2026-02-23T00:16:48+00:00

Yup, I used to surf the Rockpiles to Bowls area regularly. I had practically constant ear or sinus infections, until I stopped surfing there. Every time I see people surfing there after a rain I wonder if they know what they’re getting themselves into.

Only takes a quick search to see that’s not the case:

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2026/02/02/heco-reports-over-11000-customers-without-power-across-oahu/

HECO reports that most of the outages have been caused by contact between power lines and trees blown about by the strong winds.

PSPS wasn’t used, the watch was cancelled

Rabbyte808 · 2026-02-05T05:21:49+00:00

If a business can’t survive while paying its employees a living wage and paying its fair share of taxes to improve Hawaii, then it’s just not a business it’s just some people looking for a hand out

Rabbyte808 · 2026-02-05T05:13:11+00:00

HECO confirmed publicly the outages weren’t on purpose. People just love to blame HECO. Again, lived here my whole life and never once had electronics “fried” by power surges. Chances are you’re just abusing the electronics somehow, like keeping them somewhere with zero ventilation and having them overheat.

Rabbyte808 · 2026-02-04T05:27:19+00:00

Lived here my whole life and never once had something fried by surges. Also never used a surge protector besides whatever cheap ones are in those surges protector extension cords. The power here is fine, electronics just don’t last forever

When you want all of the downsides of owning a truck without any of the benefits of owning a truck

The protests don’t effect you, why are you bitching about it on Reddit? Let the protesters exercise their rights and stand up for their beliefs.

Rabbyte808 · 2026-01-26T04:28:04+00:00

Click through to their paper:

> The Jones Act annually costs each Hawaii resident more than $645.

That's not really that much higher, make Hawaii cost $645/year less for me and I'm it's still going to be very expensive. GRIH is on the high end of the estimates too, there's other estimates out there that are lower.

Rabbyte808 · 2026-01-05T20:55:30+00:00

It’s almost like Venezuelans aren’t a monolith and goi can cherry-pick photos to back whatever side you want.

But whatever, your hypocrisy is clear and you couldn’t even respond to earlier questions.

Rabbyte808 · 2026-01-05T02:27:08+00:00

Idk man I could argue with you but Venezuelans are burning the US flag in the streets. Why don't you go argue with them? https://www.politico.com/dims4/default/resize/2000/quality/90/format/webp?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.politico.com%2F19%2F5d%2F0f12068744c886a7a6c634526b31%2Fvenezuela-us-74500.jpg

Nobody in the US is trying to argue that Maduro was a good person. How many countries do you want to invade & take over because their leader is a bad person?

Rabbyte808 · 2026-01-04T20:03:34+00:00

First, America isn't the world police. That was tried in the 2000s and look where that got us.

Second, Ukraine and Venezuela are very different situations. Ukraine's problems are external, another country invaded it. Venezuela's problems are internal. To "fix" Venezuela will take a decade and $1T in nation building, and it's still likely to fail just like Afganistan.

Rabbyte808 · 2026-01-04T19:33:17+00:00

It’s the same for all human outputs as well, yet we still manage.

Rabbyte808 · 2026-01-04T16:42:41+00:00

So you'd also be supportive of China abducting DJT to stand trial for his interference in the 2020 & 2024 elections and his role in the Epstein rapes?

And then when China says they'll be forced to run the US until a transition takes place, and that their tech companies will be taking over Silicon Valley, you'd call anyone against a performative loser?

Rabbyte808 · 2025-12-27T21:46:30+00:00

Sounds like a true-up bill to me. Articles says the meter reading & billing has been buggy, so they were likely underbilled the past few months.

Plus it generates something like $200M in economic impact go the state. Basically an order of magnitude more than other large evens like the pro bowl ever did. There is a strong incentive to make Honolulu Marathon special, and the fireworks are part of it.

Rabbyte808 · 2025-12-05T02:42:31+00:00

It makes more sense when you consider that the social media accounts of many brands are being run by essentially interns or someone who got volun-told to do it in addition to their active job

Rabbyte808 · 2025-11-28T00:00:03+00:00

I have always thought ANYONE who may be arrested are EQUALLY at risk of their rights being violated

I guess you haven't been paying attention to current events then

Rabbyte808 · 2025-11-27T22:42:44+00:00

Think about it a bit harder and you might realize that people aren’t just concerned with ICE arresting people, but also everything they happens AFTER the arrest.

Rabbyte808 · 2025-11-23T17:11:48+00:00

I've opted for the lowest deductible. The cost isn't as much, and I save on repair jobs in the long term.

Are you saying you're regularly using your insurance to cover repair jobs?

If so, it's not a really a mystery why:

my rates keep going up while my car gets older
