Alexs´ review on his visit to Hawaii
I got the impression that people have an underlying need, fairly conscious, but blurred by a dense fog of ignorance about their energy security.
They know energy is expensive (even when some are being subsidized by government) and that utility companies are taking and arrogant and pre-potent attitude towards improving the service, but of course... they are a duopoly!!
And this could become a trigger to "sell the sizzle" of RE systems, more than environmentally friendly, or coolness, or going Off-grid as in self-sustainable.
There is poor and there is extreme poor. I know poverty is a state of mind, very much hard to change.
Most people will not and can not agree to purchase an RE system, mostly may agree if it is free. To which i oppose. And to avoid giving gifts or charity, the model has to be carefully planned and assembled.
Nevertheless, it is also true that there are areas, such like this, where scarcity and lack of opportunity is present. On the other hand, as some have said, in order to make an impact over others, one must have changed oneself first...
And this is exactly why having contact and relation with the right persons is essential to even get a glimpse of hope in succeeding.
I think these people, such as Alice, the Fishing Coop leaders, local business owners (i.e. Ligia from Honolulu Hotel), beach house landowners are key players in this enterprise.
