Speaking of light, just read in our newspaper on Sunday, that we (on the
island of Kauai) pay the highest electrical rates in Hawaii at 17.7cents
per kw. Oahu pays 10+, Maui 12+, Hawaii 13+, Lanai 15+, Molokai with 16+
and Kauai 17.7. We were second highest prior to the hurricane and now,
I guess we have to help foot the repair costs. So, I can't think of
lights for plants or air conditioning...
I put in an order with Gordon Snell about a month ago and still haven't
received anything yet....about how long is the wait?
