I find it rather interesting and so strange that here in Kona and lots of other places inter islands ... the huge push to install Smart Meters has been happening ... yet the electrical grids that feed them all are dying. Yet no one is questioning it.
Affordable petrol-based backup generators can be purchased in many places in the state of HI at Costco, Home Depot, Lowes to garage sales, online market posts etc. Solar generators can be adapted to run off wind as well as solar panels and are available at Costco and Home Depot but they are expensive. Take responsibility
heco should be libel for any loss customers have during an extended power outage. All those in that community should look into filing a suit to recover losses. heco expects everyone to pay on time, we should expect to have service on time.
Even when you go on vacation or minimal used electricity, you get the same bill, sometimes even higher than normal, next time I go off grid , pole broke ,lines down, i like go 100% solar power and independent, pass my house and take off the grid forever!
Thats what happens when they depend heavily on wind and solar And they got rid of coal tore the plant down and now HECO burns oil cahrge us a hefty bill and lack the repairs on our aging power grid
that sounds like something they'de do in calif. they're shutting down oil refineries and building out AI data centers and charging electric cars with no plans to increase capacity. Thats what happens when we let eco nuts run our energy policy
Report said the outage was caused by an arc flash which could happen regardless of the dependency on solar, wind, cables being underground or overhead. Typically an arc flash is caused by damage to the cables either through wear and tear or it being physically damaged by a foreign object.
We can learn alot from the native Hawaiians old way of life. Living off the land can be a great mindset to switch to next time something like this happens
Why didn’t these people donate to IHS? There are many who are hungry and homeless? All people are struggling you cannot only think of yourself? One day someone you know might be in this same predicament. It’s time to wake up.
Thank you, was looking for this comment. Even at 10 hours without power, your food will still stay good unless you were opening the fridge constantly. It also takes at least a few hours over 50 degrees for most food to even start to go bad.
"Heeko?" Where da hello dis guy come from. It's "HECKO", dummy. In Hawaii "e" is pronounced "eh"...same in Spanish. "i" is pronounced "ee". No respeck.
@@joephillips7612 heco runs the power generation on the military bases. but the military built combustion turbines and built ways to isolate themselves from the rest of the states grid. so if there is an island wide black out they disconnect from the state and heco run massive diesel generators to power the base. no blaCK out those generators add power to the states grid all ran by heco still
We are spoiled people. We should all be prepared for a day without power.
We are screwed if power goes out for long. People will be dangerous.
Break up HECOs electricity MONOPOLY already! Greedy CEOs!

They have that system, the problem is storage.

i agree but everyone keep voting blue like dummehs
@@null1808 This has nothing to do with politics.
The lawsuit will accomplish nothing.
@@null1808your comment is ridiculously misinformed
Big deal. Here in a big island we are without powerful a whole week at times!
I can guarantee you one thing. I can guarantee Heco will give your monthly bill on time!
Yeah but going be cheaper because you wasn't using any for a period of time haha.

How come the power never goes out in Hawaii Kai or Lanikai.
The whole island should have got underground power lines from the start
Because no copper thieves over there.
Actually they do have outages too.
Was it only in Ewa Beach?

You never see this happening in Vegas really sad our state always going BACKWARDS
The state put a ban on using and now we have problems, blame the state.

That one guy should call HECO so he can get his apology and a hug from HECO employee.
He did and there the AI was telling him that there was a problem maybe he can get a hug from AI.
Whiners. Keep the fridge door closed and your food will last much, much longer.
yep and put some plastic water bottles in the freezer to keep it cool longer. i've gone 2 days without power and food still good

propane generators ... can up your foods make em shelf stable .do it right else botulism

Hawaii is not a good place to live.
It can be the best place. Maybe not Honolulu, but I live a peaceful life others only dream of.
You are right…Hawaii isn’t for everyone,tell your friends and family don’t come here……..enjoy your ramen✌✌✌
@@dulakamanawa6113idgi what's enjoy your ramen mean? Are you referring to the user name? That's really weird if that's the case
@@tracydubose265calm down Zuckerberg. You're not helping
If you no like, go home. If you stay, learn the local culture and stop acting like one okolepuka.
