I read something recently about a big push in So. Cal. for putting photovoltaic solar panels on the roofs of industrial building.<BR/><BR/>@ HVG - I think there are plenty of places on your side of the island where solar energy would work. I hope thos idea takes hold everywhere in Hawaii Nei.<BR/><BR/>@ Evelyn - Yes, I think we are going to see more and more "green" energy solutions in Hawaii -- and it's about time!<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188765919639737752.post-49586961640896095362008-08-05T14:04:41.064-10:002008-08-05T14:04:41.064-10:00This is a great post, Bobbie. Anything keeping us green seems to eventually find its way to my radar these days. Even Hawaiian Electric has a newly-found, warm place in my heart as they support the alternative energy process.Evelynhttp://homespunhonolulu.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188765919639737752.post-63914905510716090572008-08-05T00:18:03.844-10:002008-08-05T00:18:03.844-10:00Bobbie,<BR/>I hope that the rainy Hilo side of the Big Island where I live can start something like this...maybe in sunny Kapoho where most of the state's papayas are grown?HawaiiVacationGiftshttp://www.doublebrush.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188765919639737752.post-40159117300451614882008-08-04T14:24:06.955-10:002008-08-04T14:24:06.955-10:00What great news! We're in Southern California where we do get a lot of sun, (not as much as you guys), and I wish our state would get some similar programs up and running.Rash Guard Girlhttp://www.beachtrading.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188765919639737752.post-26754784984702937282008-07-16T18:10:10.191-10:002008-07-16T18:10:10.191-10:00Hi ScienceGuy - We do have an advantage here in Hawaii when it comes to solar power. Seems like the sun is always ON!<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188765919639737752.post-28521433058840224572008-07-16T17:07:00.655-10:002008-07-16T17:07:00.655-10:00What a great idea. Not too much sun up here in the north, but I know people a bit to the south who do the same thing.scienceguy288http://scienceguy288.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188765919639737752.post-70062536003928680792008-07-13T16:21:40.569-10:002008-07-13T16:21:40.569-10:00Hi Chris - We're really excited about the solar farm project. We think it's about time! Re Australia, let's hope it's a case of "Good things come to those who wait."<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188765919639737752.post-78008065881344364412008-07-13T13:30:06.349-10:002008-07-13T13:30:06.349-10:00That's fantastic. I'm astounded and disappointed by how few houses use solar supplemental power here in sunny Australia. The government doesn't even offer rebates for installation of solar powers, it's really a bit depressing!Chris in Happy Valleyhttp://www.chrisdellavedova.comnoreply@blogger.com
