One of the things HECO is constantly criticized for is how slow they have been to modernize the technology that manages the electrical grids across Hawaii.

This was one factor in HECO saying they could only support a 20% conversion of homes to solar -- the grid could not handle more than that for net metering in which excess solar power was then used by the utility to offset generator power.

Maybe they can invest in some newer tech to detect when a line is down, to send crews out to inspect/repair it?

GE’s GridNode High-Speed Falling Conductor Protection provides a reliable
solution to detect and isolate broken overhead line conductors using secure wide-
area measurements.

Cops told the reporter that he couldn’t film even though he wasn’t in the disaster area.
Something’s wrong
We need some whistle blowers to stand up before the state kills more of us

I’m no conspiracy guy and stuff……but something’s wrong.

Oprah and the Rock.  And others just like them.

Damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

The have-nots are vicious.  They don't want an inch.  They want the whole goddam mile.

I think the issue is with where the money is going first then supposedly gets distributed to the people. The umbrella organization is with the entertainment industry and they aren't doing so good. How many layers does the money go through before it reached the front lines?

It’s all too common for “charitable organizations” to siphon off the majority of aid into administrative costs. That’s why it’s often used for money laundering

At least when oprah donated a pillow, the receipiant got 100% of it.

Why upgrade anything when u have zero competition to improve?

I think that’s the question.
All the jump the gun lawsuits.
HECO is gonna be like “ Alright we should’ve shut the power off during Red flag warning ? We’ll show you what happens every time the wind blows and we kill power.”

I havent read what the lawsuit was about. Can u post? Too busy to google right now.

Hawaii Real Estate is punching out after death threats and a coordinated smear campaign. Update starts about 4 minutes in.
He also reports there are soldiers hassling people outside the disaster area. Kinda like they want everybody to leave and not come back.

Another thing that might be an issue is no power, no water.   Which is a greater risk?   

Have been seeing a lot of talk, opinions, etc on underground versus overhead lines.  The cost for OH is a lot more than UG.  Experiencing that in one of my projects on Oahu.  That said, maintenance is also a key consideration, including factors for more "townie" or rural areas.  I worked on the Lahaina Bypass project (15+ years ago now), and utilities in that area of Lahaina is super expensive to go UG because of the bluerock in the area (very hard native rock formations).

The thing about space lasers is that they are completely unnecessary. All they would have to do is defer maintenance, cripple the emergency response, and let nature take it's course.

What? 

Where did I say anything about lasers?

It’s something other people are talking about, but as you pointed out simply doing a half assed install and neglecting maintenance is a way more efficient weapon of mass destruction

Oh, yeah. I've heard stuff about the lasers. . .

Shutting things down, impacting a wide swath of people isn't that difficult.  Look at that jackwagon who hit the pedestrian overpass a while back and shut down pretty much all of Oahu for close to 12+ hours! 

Kinda spooky that all you need to bring our civilization to its knees is a well timed swan dive. I think I still have pictures of that somewhere.

all this talk about lasers is dumb
