And again, no Rockies in this Watch first card is gonna be some weird Rockies card. They left in there somehow They got the rage treatment That's what happens Dude Yanni Diaz by the way good gold player in the show very good. I mean I Don't have one I was surprised me clannigan wasn't maybe it's because he's injured. Yeah, he's out probably why I'm gonna get Bayo super fracter in the show. I think all right. Oh, here we go tribute Go Yep, Ellie does have autos having Carter Jason Dominguez Basically anybody that had signed in series one for rookies, I think mostly it's not everybody but At least rookie wise that's what it'll be like. All right, here we go. So we're gonna get Three autos a box, right? Three autos three relics one hit a pack. I think it says that box. I think that's what it should be though All right, let's do it great stock on these cards to all acetate base design looks fire Of the base design First hit of the day is an auto Jose Ray as the 150 for the Mets as dope. That's a sick start I like that blue color match to awesome Met so this is a certified soft auto car. It's just that's just the auto That's just tribute auto design this year. I like that dude.   It's not like me and Sam Come on Yeah, bass design is pretty sick Goldy Next hits is gonna be Trouto Tani to a relative 75 angels. There we go Nice hits everything in tribute is game-worn should be Kershaw base Mente Auto Don Mattingly to 75 Yankees Donnie baseball What we say? Hey, I'll tell you later Yeah, very acetate. Yeah Schmidtie a lot of legends in the base that too, which is cool to 199 a stamp of approval Yordon Alvarez I think it's one stamp approval for walks to where it has the Little stamp there the hollow stamp where you can go see what What event or game it's probably a game the jerseys from? Yordon to 199 And Harbor should be won a box on the stamp of approval. This is another cool part about tribute This is a pretty unique product one of my favorites Rookie Heston Kirstad auto Baltimore to 99 nice very nice hits Baltimore Kirstad more balty more balty for Chris Chris and And Boba Shett to 50 for the J's Also, I think it's as I think I saw some examples. I think it's two rookies per case right like the base rookies are not common Eight rookie parallels even more uncommon. There's one rookie a box. I think one of the other jazz Triple jersey card Julio Rodriguez to 199 Mariners. What's up, JG? These look really good tribute always does to be fair to be fair Jeter and then a green rookie pico Armstrong to 99 cubs. I Would say that was a pretty solid first box you see a PCA RPC That's how it's pretty soft for his box Flashcards I'm making I'm gonna make breaker flashcards. Yeah, I was gonna say I might actually do that say this No, not like say this but like Like a value like value flashcards. They have to be something where you can change the bat then up on the back Parallel flashcards like what parallelist what is this what we got here after bow Wow one of ten red Albert Pujols auto Jesus Cardinals oh my goodness pillars of the game. Oh My goodness what a gorgeous hit that's gross What a card Stephen L with st. Louis? gross Dude, yes Yes, right behind it is a pillar to the game Carlton Fisk auto to 75 is it an error pack?

That's an awesome pack congrats to the Red Sox and the Cardinals Bregman to 99 green for the Astros Yeah, dude because because only the phone of you over there So we were trying to figure out like you're gonna have to you're gonna have to use you have to pick up the phone And move it back and all that we're talking about it earlier Because here we have a wide view But yeah, not over there What's the overhead cam over there unless you have it built into your like your screen There's is like Like a security only one like it doesn't show up on the screens. I think it's because it gets too cluttered Sandberg relic here game use triple of a Riley for Atlanta strive. What up when I drive what's going on? Not much time. Just waiting for you to come back. Honestly Chisholm Cardinals again Jim Edmonds out at a 150. That's the guy that made the crazy catches, right? Yeah Hey guys that guy's a baller that over the shoulder diving like running outwards that catch blows my mind every time I see it and Satchel page St. Louis Browns goes to the Orioles St. Louis Browns goes to the Orioles same franchise And a I would probably That is Schmittie and Harper dual relic fail these out of 99. That's right, dude.  I wonder when strife was gonna come back. I wasn't worried rookie auto a's how about that Zach Gelloff to 199 you gotta love the last but second last spot mojo second last spot mojo nice Joshua R There we go. Gell off the 90 to 199 He is a very good player Shohei Dodgers base. Oh boy. Oh, there he is Shohei Dodgers base in his autos are angels in this it's on card. So they signed quite a bit before The cards have to be made obviously We got Rizzo and Cole dual rally ginkies the 99 it's Pirates and Padres legends there Pirates Cole and Padres the other guy Jackie Robinson on the base. That was disrespectful to Rizzo Red Sox legend any Rizzo How long was he even in the Red Sox system Not long like not even a year, right Think he might have been traded pretty soon after the draft what trade was he in I don't even remember it was dude It was like a gone Maybe Is that Asian Gonzalez? I think that might have So that's that's almost 15 years ago. Oh, that's I can't remember that. Oh, that is cool Exposed Jersey Otto Vlad Guerrero nice 17 of 99 Exposed go to the Nationals Refire tribute of threads Autorellic He's just leaving saying I'll start talking about George Brett than 99 I think he has autos in this too, and he has autos in transcendent.

Yep, spit water over the field Celebrations for even hits have gotten out of control. I Don't dislike it. We're just saying it's out of control. That's Tony Don't have a strong opinion on it. I Like the home run Sally's though like the tried ends or the samurai helmet they were using or whatever Red Sox cart Yeah, that was his thing. I believe I think he came up with that Luis Castillo, he's gonna give up like nine runs tomorrow. It's a 199 in the auto for Seattle He's very good. He's just playing the juggernaut Red Sox so He may as well just Just get ready to leave by the end of the second. I'd like a 110 pitch first inning for sure. What do we got here Jeter and a mow dual patch to ten Yankees? One of 10 foot a yanks on the game use dual relics here I don't know which which patch goes to who because they're vertical But that patch up top is nice is nice Yankees good car That is Adley a rushman auto 250 Baltimore.

Hello friends welcome to the session I am Valka. Let's discuss the given question. The two opposite vertices of a square are minus 1, 2 and 3, 2. Find the coordinates of the other two vertices. Now since we are given with a square, so let A be C be V of square as we can see from the figure D and we are given with the coordinates of A that is minus 1, 2 and C since we are given two opposite vertices. Therefore A and C are opposite vertices, so the coordinates of A are minus 1, 2 and C are 3, 2. Now we have to find the coordinates of the other two vertices that is B and D. So let the coordinates of B are x and y. Now since A, B, C, D is a square and we know that all the sides of the square are equal that is A, B equal to V, C equal to C, D equal to A, D. Now we take A, B equal to V, C or we can say A, B square equal to V, C square. Now applying distance formula to A, B and C, we get A, B square equal to x plus 1 square plus y minus 2 square that is A, B square equal to V, C square which is x minus 3 square plus y minus 2 square or this can be written as x square plus 1 plus 2x plus y square plus 4 minus 4y equal to x square plus 9 minus 6x plus y square plus 4 minus 4y. So this is equal to or we can say this can be written as 8x equal to 8 that is all simplified the above step or we can say x equal to 1. Now again from the figure we can see that A, B square plus V, C square equal to A, C square. So I am applying this we get A, B square plus V, C square equal to A, C square or this can be written as now A, B is x plus 1 square plus y minus 2 square plus V, C is x minus 3 square plus y minus 2 square equal to A, C square that is 3 plus 1 square plus 2 minus 2 square or this can be written as substituting value x equal to 1 we get 4 plus 2y minus 2 whole square plus 4 equal to 16 or we can say 2y minus 2 whole square equal to 8 or y minus 2 whole square equal to 4 or it can be written as y square plus 4 minus 4y equal to 4. So this implies y square minus 4y equal to 0, 4, 4 cancel out. So we get this implies on taking y common we get y minus 4 equal to 0. So this implies y equal to 0 and y equal to 4 the coordinates of other two vertices are 1, 0, 1, 4. Therefore the required vertices are 1, 0, 1, 4. So hope you understood the solution and enjoyed the session. Goodbye and take care.


Guys tell me this would not look incredible in some epoxy. Let's try it out. All right guys. Here we go Let's pour the epoxy. Oh, that's gonna look amazing There it is looking pretty good, but we still got some bubbles. Let's pop those There it is the final piece and ready look at the shine. Oh Just straight glass brawl


This is Think Tech Hawaii, Community Matters here. Okay, bingo, we're back at the three o'clock block here on The Give It a Wednesday, Energy in America. And we are going to talk with Jeff Kissel. He's with E-Princk in Washington, but he travels around a lot, and he's the former CEO of Hawaii Gas, which is important for this show, because in this show we're going to talk about the 10th anniversary of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative with Jeff. Hi, Jeff. Thanks for joining us today. Aloha. Jay, it's nice to be with you. I'm speaking from across the ocean, but my heart is in Hawaii as always. We can tell from the beautiful aloha shirt. Anyway, so, yeah, let's talk about the history of the Clean Energy Initiative. I'll tell you my thoughts and recollections, and then you can disagree with me. So it was around this time of year, November, December, 2008, Linda Lingle got into an agreement through her DBED director, Ted Liu, with the consumer advocate, Laquette Alakuni, and the Hawaiian Electric Company, which was then managed by Dick Rosenblum as the CEO, and Robbie Ahm was the executive vice president, and they made a deal. They announced the deal in the ceremony room at the state capitol. It was a big thing that we had had Clean Energy to some extent in the past, but this was a governmental, you know, nod on that, and it was an agreement to build Clean Energy in Hawaii in every way possible, and all those parties to the agreement were supposed to bend their efforts in the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. Oh, and one of the parties, as I recall, was the Federal Department of Energy, which was involved, and which at the time was funding a part of the initiative. So we're going to talk about what happened since then. What about your recollection, Jeff? Do you recall how it all got started in 2008? Well, it started, of course, as you recall, because Hawaii has a long history of working through alternative energy solutions. And of course, as we all know, Hawaii was one of the pioneers in solar energy starting back in the 1970s. But what happened in 2008, of course, was that oil prices spiked. They were headed above $150 a barrel. They effectively got to $200 a barrel at the retail level. So everybody was focused on what they could do to move away from petroleum, not just because it was expensive, but because the perception was that it was not clean. And we were and still are concerned about greenhouse gases.  Yeah. Well, so there we were in the ceremony room. It was a big deal and it went forward. And there was a lot of talk about it. There was a lot of newspaper coverage at the time. There were a lot of people rooting for it. And in fact, the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, which included members of those organizations and some representatives from industry. And of course, it was it was well represented by the Federal Department of Energy in those days who had said it would provide funds for Hawaii and the Clean Energy Initiative went about the business of of of of improving and sort of marshaling and utilizing clean energy resources. And over the years, I made a little list, Jeff, of all the possibilities I'd like to read them through because not all of them exist today. Solar energy, of course. I guess that includes solar water heater energy, because we had that, as you said, and there was more of it coming down the pike. Wind energy, we had some of that and we went on to have much more of it, including first wind, especially in Maui. LNG was under discussion. Linai, the big wind project in Linai, was soon enough was under discussion. As soon as the lindal legal term ended and Abercrombie came in, I remember Linai was a big deal and that was going to result in a cable from Linai and possibly Maui to Honolulu to deliver wind energy to other islands. Algae, there was a lot of algae research going on. Heidi Kundley and Kundley Agro Systems, they was called in the Minoa Innovation Center. She was developing algae that could be used to provide lipid oil and lipid oil would make fuel was the idea. And in fact, it was a farm of some substance in Kauai growing algae for that purpose. Otec, off the Big Island, which had existed from back in the 70s, I guess. Now, the possibility of having Otec energy at Nelha was under consideration. Geothermal existed in Puna and we're going to put that into our portfolio of renewable resources. Ocean energy, there was a lot of talk about ocean energy and there were experimental ocean energy devices in Kaniyoi Bay Marine Corps. But there was also an ocean energy machine that Cynthia Thielen was advancing and it actually was deployed off the northeast coast of Maui. And of course, biomass had been used by the plantations actually. It was being used and could be used in the future. That was under consideration and hydro power. There were actually hydroelectric plants in various places in remote areas, mostly around the neighbor islands that had been in use since the early 20th century. That's the only item on my list. I couldn't think of any other, Jeff, but all of those were in play right after 2008. Everybody was trying to figure out where we were going to get these renewables from. But as you know, some of them advanced and some of them didn't. Well, some of them didn't, but a lot of them did. Most of the most important point that I just heard you make, Jay, is that this was not an initiative of big business. It was not an initiative of small business. It was initiative. It was a community based initiative supported by our government, of course, but really there were dozens and dozens of businesses that that were and are contributing greatly to Hawaii's clean energy future. Now, our friends at Pacific biodiesel have been an important part of the success of the energy initiative, both in terms of transportation fuels and power generating fuels. On the on the negative side, of course, the change in the regulatory environment or the purchase of electricity has been devastating to Hawaii's progress forward in clean energy, because no longer can people sell electricity into the grid. You know, so the incentive for putting rooftop solar has been greatly diminished. So so it's a balance going forward. And collectively, as a community, we are better educated. We've learned a lot more about our energy future. We've learned what it means to be truly clean, what it means to think we're clean and what it means to invest in our clean energy future. And that collective knowledge is beginning to pay off. It's going to be giving dividends in the years to come in a number of ways. Yeah, we we learned a lot. I remember I was involved in the Hawaii Energy Policy Forum and I and I watched you across the street in Hawaii Gas. We were learning a lot. We were, as they said, we were picking the low hanging fruit. And that was namely identifying the sources that were most attractive, both in efficiency and cost and also in political acceptance. And what happened over over the few years that followed was that we seemed to select over everything else on the list that I that I mentioned, solar photovoltaic and there was a race by by companies that had not been involved in it before to get in on it. Young young business entrepreneurs were selling solar all over town. They had the benefit of the net energy mirroring regulation statute, I guess, and they could present packages to homeowners that were pretty attractive since the excess energy would be sold back to the PUC, excuse me, sold back to Hawaii, Hawaii Electric at a pretty good price for the homeowner. And that went on for several years. And while that was going on, we had trade associations building of the installer companies, some of whom were really getting very big and doing very well and all functioned on these spreadsheets that they would provide to homeowners about how how they could save a lot of money, not spend really anything inside the connection costs by having PV installed on their roof. It was a it was a bonanza for a lot of people that made a lot of money. And then someone wanted to line. I think it kind of caught up with them. And the notion was she was that it means the people without solar are supporting the people with solar for those that energy metering return prices. And so I think there was some resistance there. And that began that began an era of controversy. You do remember the controversy, right? Well, not letting you I remember the controversy. I have a very firm position on it. It was an incredibly foolish decision to eliminate net metering overnight. You know, you can certainly make a change in energy policy, any public policy, whether it's health, energy or education. But the key is to implement it in a way that allows us to adjust to it gradually. That didn't happen with net metering. And it was devastating to the companies who employed a lot of people who lost their jobs, but it was also devastating to our progress forward on the clean energy initiative. Well, the government, the government, the government has decided to take certain directions in energy policy. And they've done it in an open and transparent manner. Some of us agree. Some of us don't agree with what they they've done specifically. But to do what they did so suddenly acted actually against their all of our best interests. And I'm very disappointed in that. And now, you know, you look at what's happening with wind right now. The maintenance of the wind turbines is beginning to increase the cost of wind substantially. And again, because we are are starting to be dependent rather than diversified on single sources, we're vulnerable. When we were dependent on oil, the economy was hugely vulnerable to oil price changes. Now we're dependent upon a large scale of renewable energy as opposed to distributed renewable energy. That's very sad. It's not good for the economy. Yeah, it's been moving from distributed to a utility side. And I guess one interesting point you raise is the fact that the wind turbines are getting old, some of them, and they're failing. This happened with at least one that we know of in Ulapalacua, where the wind, the cupola on the top fell down. And that particular turbine, you know, doesn't function even now. So I guess, you know, I guess it's important point to make that these are not only expensive at the beginning, but they get expensive in the middle. And as you go forward by having to maintain them. And a very interesting question is, is the solar panels when the solar panels were first installed?  Nobody really knew what the useful life of the solar panel was. I recall in the solar panels that were installed by Murdoch and Lanai, there were a lot of failures in those panels and Toshiba had provided those panels. And Toshiba bellied up to it and replaced them free of charge. I guess it was a warranty basis, but it brought home the point that they don't last forever. Sometimes they break and right now, to your point, I think we are in many ways relying on the long term life of solar panels without knowing exactly how long the average solar panel is going to last. If we come to a point in the throw where they going to give it up, you know, and they go out of commission at a certain point, you know, in a widespread manner, we're going to have a price to pay at that point. Well, the fundamental of the problem is that we are still 80 percent dependent upon imported petroleum for all of the energy we use, whether it's trans transportation or electric. And as I've said before, if you own a Tesla, your Tesla is using 80 percent oil to run around Hawaii and the equivalent miles per gallon that the Tesla gets or the other electrics or even the Mirai, which I happen to drive, are oil miles per gallon until we move away from oil as an electric base. I brought a little slide for you that actually shows here on the continental US where I am, what the true impact of my renewable vehicle is on the environment. I don't know whether you can put that up on the screen. It's on there now. How green is your, how green is your driving? True zero charging. Follow these simple, six simple steps. Can you tell us what this is about? Well, if you're, if you're looking at the alternative fuels, obviously gasoline being the main fuel, it tells you in terms of grams per mile of greenhouse gases, what you are producing and putting into the atmosphere today in California because of the significant amount of natural gas in the electric. The, the pollution from the, or the impact in greenhouse gases is, is minimal on an electric vehicle. It's 117 grams per mile compared to 412 for a gasoline vehicle. In Hawaii, however, it's almost 400 grams per mile because we make so much of our electricity with a lot. And again, my, my passion as, as you know from my time at Hawaii gas is fuel cells. And so you, you look at the greenhouse gas emissions of a fuel cell vehicle today. It's 158 in California because such a large component of the hydrogen is made directly from natural gas, but, and, and some of it is actually made from petroleum. But ultimately, when it becomes renewable, just as electric cars will be, the amount of greenhouse gas it emits will be de minimis. And that, that bleeds through if, if I may use that expression to electric vehicles and the other vehicles that will be used in, in Hawaii's transportation system. And I think it's important to further our knowledge base by understanding these concepts. And of course, if you look at the bottom line, you look at tailpipe emissions and, and there are substantially none or everything except for petroleum-based vehicles. Well, you know, but at the generation level, it certainly appears that Hawaiian Electric and for that matter, KIUC are moving with some alacrity to, to reach the 2045 goal, or even earlier, of 100% clean energy. And you know, they might, they might do it. That's another discussion, of course. So what we, what we have is the low-hanging fruit was picked, or at least considered, it focused in this 10-year period on solar and to a lesser degree on wind. LNG, as you know, is something Hawaii gas wanted to see. And for that matter, I think Hawaiian Electric wanted to see that too. But David Ige stamped that out one day, and he's, and he's done it since too, by saying he didn't like LNG. And then his government seemed to follow him on that. So we never really got off the ground in LNG, even though such, you know, such detailed plans were made, especially by Hawaii gas. The Lanai project failed because of activists on Lanai, and Hawaiian Electric could never really put that together. Murdoch could never put that together on Lanai. And Larry Ellison never followed up after he bought Lanai. So the Lanai idea about the cable, not happening. Algy, I haven't heard about it. I don't think it's happening. Otec, there were problems in the, in the materials. They were too expensive. They were using titanium, as I recall, as the optimal material for the exchanger, but titanium was too expensive. So I don't know if they really have a, you know, a future here. They're still working model at Nelha. But, you know, after all this time, it's hard to believe that they're, they're going to be able to do it. Geothermal is under a political ceiling. Those people who believe that geothermal is piercing Hawaii, piercing Pele's breast as a cultural, a native Hawaiian cultural issue have, have, have held it down. And it's still operating at way less than what it could operate at. And I'm not sure that it has a future either. Given what has happened with the TMT issue on top of Mauna Kea, native Hawaiian activist objecting, I think, I think it falls in the same category. And it doesn't have, it doesn't certainly have a lot of support that could, that could push it through. Biomass, as you mentioned, is, you know, Hawaii biodiesel, Pacific biodiesel is doing pretty well. They got all kinds of things going on, including sunflowers now in Maui. We visited them a week or two ago. The hydropower, it's, it's stable. I think there's some hydro being developed actually in Kauai. I think a hydro, a battery, a hydro storage system is also underway in Kauai, but there's not a lot of it. So what we're left with is solar and to some limited lesser extent wind as the, as the sources of renewables going forward. And the issue has become not necessary to look for the elements of the portfolio, but they have to incorporate the renewables into the grid to find the right technologies to make it efficient, to connect the homeowner and, and the, and the utility. One interesting thing is that if you look back, there were a lot of people who wanted to use renewables in the blush after 2008. They wanted to use them to get off the grid. But getting off the grid hasn't been all that popular.  And I think in the foreseeable future, it's likely that we'll be dealing with a utility and we will be connected both in the KIUC and in Hawaiian Electric. I guess the big question is, is, you know, how has this changed the way people think energy efficiency is part of it? In fact, I think energy efficiency is a bigger part of it than it was in 2008. And so people are more conscious about those issues. They're probably more conscious about, as you say, the green and climate, you know, climate change and, you know, taking care of the environment. But the big question to me is whether we can make a goal or whether we will, you know, step on our own shoelaces and get tied up in distractions. You know, government is always on a federal level, too. It's a question of the initiative versus the distractions. You haven't thought about that. Well, the government, when it makes policy, oftentimes overlooks the obvious. How do you double the miles per gallon of a sheep by a vehicle? Very simple. But two people in it. This is not difficult to figure out. Right. But the question is, how do you get two people in every vehicle? Right. Well, there are some people who say, you know, no problem, we have transponder technology. You you make a congestion charge or a usage charge. You want to use your vehicle alone. You got to pay by the trip or pay by the mile like they do in Singapore. Yes. If you want to use your people, your vehicle with more than one person, then you get a discount or you get it for free. That's a solution. I'm not suggesting it's the solution, but it's an example of government overlooking the obvious in favor of the complex, which, you know, sometimes it's a lot sexier and easier to sell. The side benefit is you as you reduce the congestion when you have two people in the same vehicle. You certainly do. And there, you know, but, you know, is there the political will to do that? Yeah. In, you know, in New York City, I work in New York a lot. And I can I can pick up a bicycle and ride from Grand Central to Penn Station, which is three or four miles. It would cost me ten dollars to take a cab. It would cost me two seventy five to take a subway. But it's it's practically no charge to take a bite. And assuming I survived the trip, I'm healthier for it. So, you know, there are there are ways to do it. Yeah. And we have you've seen that. If you're looking back on the history, we've seen the complete streets program, you know, become more robust. More people are interested in it. I think the infrastructure has improved. There are bike lanes where there weren't bike lanes before. But it's a long way. I think, Jeff, before we, you know, get to a complete streets program that encourages, you know, the grand mass of people to take bikes to work. There are signs of that with Biki, you know, the Hawaii Biki program. But I think it'd be a while before we get everybody on a bike. And as you say, it's cheaper, better and healthier to ride a bike. And this is the perfect environment to ride a bike. So maybe that will come up. I think I think one of the most important things that you've mentioned is the thing about the cars. And right now, obviously, we're in, you know, a transformation about cars, about electric cars, hydrogen cars. I'm impressed that you have a what is it? You're right, you're right. Mariah, that is that is a very that's a very advanced car in terms of energy. And of course, Tesla is coming up with new models and with longer range. And so is Nissan with new models and longer range. And Hawaiian Electric is putting in charging stations.  But what I what I suggest to you is that ultimately that is going to be a big determinant on how we proceed with energy in general, especially when the autonomous cars come around and they may come around pretty quick, because as a matter of fact, who is it? David E. Gay said recently that he wanted Hawaii to be a testing ground for autonomous cars. Wow, that is something. If that happens, you know, things will change, don't you think? But some of my fellow drivers in Hawaii, autonomous cars would be a great improvement. But that's a that's a personal opinion and line up. You know, the idea, though, of of becoming energy independent and becoming a renewable energy showcase, I think needs to be separated from a hundred this kind of dogmatic goal of 100 percent renewables. It doesn't really matter whether you're 60, 70, 80 or 90 percent renewable, as long as you keep moving in the renewable direction. And on the plus side, the clean energy initiative has has a lot to stimulate that and make it happen. On the negative side, the politics that have overshadowed the initiative have kind of held back progress and are right now with the destruction of the photovoltaic industry, really eliminating the opportunity for diversified sources of energy. And that's what we, you know, what everybody benefits from because technology blesses certain areas of the of the industry at at various times. So we don't know whether wind is going to have a breakthrough or a photovoltaic or some other technology. And if we've eliminated a whole industry, which we have, we're we're really doing ourselves and the country of this service because they look to us as an example. Yeah, that's that's true. You know, we have figures from Marco Mangostorf, one of our regular guests on energy, with regard to the number of installers that are out there and how many have failed and how many installations are going on these days. And it's a fraction of what it was a couple of years ago. So yeah, the change from that energy metering has effectively decimated the installer industry. And and then when you put on top of that, the fact that the federal government is imposing tariffs now on Chinese photovoltaic cells, that adds another wrinkle of complexity and difficulty to moving it ahead. So I think we may have seen all the low hanging fruit or most of it. And it's not clear exactly how that's going to expand going forward. So going forward, you know, looking forward, well, looking now, Jeff, as we as we sit here now with the 10th anniversaries, there is a symbolic significance to the 10th anniversary. What is what is your take on it? Where are we relative to where we were? Where are we relative to where we want to go? How should we see this 10th anniversary in your mind? We've been investing in clean energy for 10 years, really more, but collectively under the initiative for 10 years. That investment is paying off. It's paying off not just in the improved quality of life in a way from 20 or more percent renewables in the system. It's paying off in terms of our ability to make good decisions going forward. And even though I may disagree or agree with today's policy, I'm really confident that the initiative itself is helping all of our decision makers make better decisions that will impact the future. One last question, and that is my favorite subject of managing offshore investment. I'm sure you've thought about that in connection with Hawaii Gas and LNG and all these other issues. But we had we had a very tumultuous time a year and a half of PUC process over the next era attempted acquisition of wine electric. How important is offshore investment in the utility and I mean large investment in these projects? What how important is that to Hawaii? How important is that to moving forward in an efficient and, you know, ultimately successful manner? Well, it's it's important if you're going to limit the ability of the individuals in Hawaii to make onshore investments and the elimination of net metering has taken the Hawaii man in the street, person in the street, forgive me, out of the picture as an investor. That to me is an incredibly short sighted view.  When we eliminated the plantations as a source of renewable energy, we became dependent upon imported oil even further from basically, you know, 40 percent to 90 percent. Yeah. Well, what would you do? What would you do now to, you know, make a better pathway? Well, I'd open up the the process for sharing electrons so that if I wanted to share my electrons with my neighbor, I could legally do that as long as it was safe. You can't do that now. You can't put in a cable between the Fidel residence and the people who live next door to the Fidels. It's illegal. You can't use the grid because they've made it uneconomic. So I'd find a way to reopen the process for sharing electrons. And then you have to incent conservation in terms of behavior or more people in a car, a good quality investment in rapid transit. You know, I've always advocated for the rail or even the subway, but I've advocated for it in a unique way. You know, you could make that a very popular project. I've said this before, if you went from Eva to the university and rebuilt the Termite Palace, everybody would be fooled. So you can't advocate for rapid transit or mass transit in a way that's politically unpopular. Look at Maui. Maui's roads are congested. They're a miserable experience for the Maui visitor. You know, Maui had a train system that worked really nicely. You don't need expensive high-speed, high-technology devices to offer the opportunity for people to go places inexpensively and pleasantly. The trolley system still works. So much of energy is about transportation because we're using so much fossil fuel in transportation. Well, Chuck, we're out of time. I have to say farewell. Thank you so much for joining us today and participating in the discussion about the 10th anniversary of Hawaii Clean Energy. There's more to come, and I hope we can get together again soon and talk about energy in America and especially in Hawaii. Thank you. You're in a car for you, Jay. Okay. Talk soon. Aloha.


The Mutual Broadcasting System in Cooperation with Family Theatre Incorporated presents Alter of Freedom, Starring Anne Revere. Your host, Roddy McDowell.  Here transcribed is Roddy McDowell. Not so long ago, Family Theatre received a letter which seems to call for a special answer. A listener wrote, I like your program, the plays, the stars, the music, but I never know what to expect. Why, one week you present a delightful comedy and next week you're very serious. I don't know what to look for next. Well, I'll tell you what to expect on the Family Theatre. First, a program that is interesting, entertaining, and usually we hope inspiring. Then, a weekly reminder that your family is the most important thing you have in the world. Something to cherish and protect. Something to thank God for each day by praying to Him as a family. Family Theatre is dedicated to your family and to all the families of the world. Family Theatre is successful if your family enjoys it each week and becomes personally convinced that the family that prays together stays together. Roddy McDowell returns following this week's Family Theatre presentation Alter of Freedom, starring Anne Revere. William Schooler, that's my name, the Adjutant General of Massachusetts. And with a war going on, one of my duties is reporting to the governor about the casualty lists that come to me every morning from the War Department. You know, if it was up to me there'd never be any more wars.  But it's not up to me. My job, as I said, is checking the casualty lists and talking with callers like Mrs. Bixby. General Schooler, the man outside said I should come in. Watcha sit down? You're, uh... Mrs. Bixby, Lydia Bixby. Address? 15 Dogra Street here in Boston. Husband's occupation? I'm a widow. I see. Any children? Five. Oh, five. Quite a family, Mrs. Bixby. Yes, five boys. Five wonderful boys. And that's what's so terrible. They want to go in the army. They're all... Well, three of them are, and you see that only leaves two and before long, and they mustn't. They mustn't.  Oh, please, Mrs. Bixby, don't get nervous. But you'll have to start at the beginning if you want me to help you. I'm sorry. I am mixed up. I'll... I'll try to be a little clearer. As I said, I have five boys. Charles, Henry, Oliver, Edward, George. Mother know about it, George? How could she? Henry didn't give it away. Of course he didn't. It's a surprise. All right, boys. If you want dinner, you'd better finish setting the table. Oh, yeah, Mother. We're almost done. I can't understand what's keeping Charles. He's always home before this, and dinner's ready now. Oh, he'll be here any minute, I bet. Oh, yeah. Very well. He's very late. I can warm things over for him. Well, Oliver? Oh, yes, Mother. Bless us, O Lord, for these, I guess, which we are about to receive in my body, amen. George, start the potatoes. Pass the bread around, Henry. Well, there's Charles now. Hurry up, son. Dinner's on the table. Be right there, Mother. I wonder what Mother will say. Yeah, me too. Sorry, I'm late, Mother. Well, how do I look? Look, why... Charles. Charles, that uniform. You're in the Army. You're going to war. That's right. I enlisted this morning. But, Charles, why? You didn't have to. Not yet, any... You're only playing a joke. That's it. It's a joke. You didn't have to volunteer. The war isn't that serious. It's no joke, Mother. I'm really in the Army. Gee, you look swell, Charlie. I wish I was old enough. It's such a shock, Charles. I can't believe... I can't think that you'd want to go into the Army to be a soldier. Charles, Charles, why did you do it? Well, Henry and I talked it over, Mother, and we knew with this war starting and things being like they are, well, one of us would have to go sooner or later, so we tossed a coin and I won. Yeah, you were lucky. I'm not old enough to go to war, to fight. I'm nearly 23, Mother.  But they need more men. That's what everyone says, Mother. The war won't last very long. You wait and see. I'll be back real soon. How long before you have to leave, Charles? Well, let's see. Exactly two hours. I'm to report tonight at 8.30. What? So soon? Oh, my goodness. You'll have to pack. Only two hours. There's so much to say and no time. Well, sit down, Charles. You haven't had anything to eat. It might be a long time before you get another home-cooked meal. Only two hours more. Where are they going to send you, Charlie? Well, I don't know, Ollie. Doesn't matter much, I guess. The point is I'm representing a Bixby family in this war, and you fellas have to pitch in and help, Mother. That's your job now. Mine's fighting. Don't worry about us, son. We'll get along all right. I guess you know you're the first Bixby ever to wear a uniform. I hope you're the last one. First it's Charles, and now you, Henry. I know, Mother. It's only been three months since Charles left. I was just beginning to recover from that shock. But, Mother, I... Of course, Henry, I know I'm only your mother, but you might have talked to me about it first before you enlisted. Well, I knew what you'd say. You'd have tried to have talked me out of it, and I'd made up my mind. I'm old enough, and... well, I know how desperately the army needs manpower. Oh, but why not let someone else volunteer? One Bixby in the army. That's all that's expected of us, Henry. Please, Mother, it... Well, it was something I felt I had to do. I felt I owed it to my country. Anyhow, with both Charlie and me in it, it can't last very much longer. Well, I wish you'd talked it over with me first, son, but... Well, it's too late for that now, I guess. Yeah, I... I guess. Got that job I was telling you. Mother, what's wrong? You've been crying. It's... it's the conscription. It's Edward. He has to go to war, too. I just found out. Ed does? I've already sent two of my boys. Isn't that enough to expect from one mother? Isn't it? Isn't it? Why do they have to make Edward go, too? He doesn't want to. They don't need him. He's only a baby. I don't know, Mother. The way the war is going... well, as soon as I'm old enough, I'll be joining... Oh, no. No, not you two, Oliver. Please, promise me you won't. You can't. Why would you do that to me? Oh, don't just see, Mother. I wouldn't be doing anything to you. I'll be doing something for you. I'll be fighting for you. And that's why I've come to you, General Scooler. You've got to help me. What is it you want me to do? You've got to keep Oliver out of the army. And George, too. Just as soon as he can, George will want to follow his brothers. It's... it's inevitable. Yes, I'm afraid it is. That's how boys are. But that's... you've got to stop it. Do you hear? You've got to stop it. Mrs. Bixby, I'm afraid it's unavoidable unless... Unless what? Unless the war ends. I'm afraid your last two were old enough to enlist. Oh, do you think it will? Tell me honestly. Do you think it will end soon? I hope it doesn't end. Just yet, Mrs. Bixby. Right now we're not doing well at all. If it ended suddenly, we would be the losers. And we can't lose, Mrs. Bixby. We're fighting for a just cause for the safety and preservation of our nation. We've got to win this war. I want my boys back. All of them. Winning or losing doesn't matter to me. You can't mean that, Mrs. Bixby, for the sake of your boys' futures, for the sake of our country. You can't afford to lose. You've got to believe that. But if I don't?  Ain't your name Bixby, buddy? That's right. Come on over here. You might know this fella I'm working on. His name's Bixby, too. What? Where is he? Let me see him. Hey, now, hey, now. Take it easy. He ain't hurt bad. George. George, it's me, Ollie. You know him, huh? Yes, he's my brother. Are you all right, George? Ollie. Gee, I'm glad to see you. What's wrong?  I got a bullet in my leg. Lost some blood, I guess. I'm all right. Have you seen any of the others? Henry or Charlie or Ed? I... No. Henry and Charlie are... They were... Yeah? They're gone, George. Killed. They are. Oh, gee, Ollie. Oh, no. No. Got a letter from Mother. You want to read it? It just came yesterday. Henry and Charlie. Both gone. Gee. That's war, George. Got expected, I guess. But it's awful tough on Mother. No news about Ed. No. I haven't heard a thing. I can't get over it. Henry and Charlie... I guess I never thought of war being like this. Oh, look, Ollie. Can you stay with me for a while? I'd sort of like to talk. No, George. I wish I could. But my outfit's moving on after we eat, and I... Well, I'll see you later, huh? Yeah. Later. Somewhere. I don't like this war business, Ollie. I don't either. Neither does Mother. I can take this to the governor, please. Yes, sir. And while you're there... General Skooler. Yeah? Oh, Mrs. Bixby. I didn't expect to see you today. Come here to my office. Won't you sit down? No. I'll stand. General Skooler, how can you sleep at night? Knowing in the morning you'll face another long list of boys killed. Serving the country they've been taught to love and respect. I should think you'd walk the floor from dusk to dawn. Mrs. Bixby, I'm sure that you... You know what's happened to my family, don't you? Yes. Charles and Henry. Well, they volunteered. It was their own choice.  But Edward... Edward was taken against his will. He didn't want to go to war. And now even he's... He's dead. Conscription plays no favourites, Mrs. Bixby. There's no one left at home, General Skooler. Oliver and George are both away now, fighting. They're all I have left in this world.  No one can be asked to do more for his country than I've done. I agree with you, Mrs. Bixby. Still, there isn't a thing I can do, but hope and pray your boys will be spared.  Your son. One son. I've sent five sons to war. My entire family. And now there are only two of them left. Mrs. Bixby, I don't sleep very much at night, and I do walk the floor just as you said. I'm afraid to read the casualty list in the morning, afraid of what I might find there. Yes, I'm a soldier, but I am against war, against what it does to families like yours and mine. This is the place, Harkins. Bring the box and come along with me. Yes, sir. That box is too heavy. You can put it on the porch. It's all right, sir. Good morning, Mrs. Bixby. By General Skooler. Not General, Mrs. Bixby. This morning I am just plain William Skooler, private citizen. Well, I'll get right to the point. I know all about the hardships you're facing. I know you're having trouble making ends meet. Yes, you know this? I do, and I've taken the liberty of talking about it with some members of my church, and we've collected a box of staples for you, flour sugars, meat and vegetables, and we also have a small present of some money that... General Skooler, I've never been insulted like this before in my life. Did my visits to you imply that I was asking for charity? Now, wait, Mrs. Bixby. Do you think I can't see through this miserable scheme of yours, trying to trade a few pounds of flour and sugar for the lives of my three sons? Mrs. Bixby, stop it.  I'm only a widow. There's nothing I can do about it. Mrs. Bixby, you're so upset, so emotionally disturbed, you don't realize what you owe the two boys. Well, it's still a way to war fighting for you. I know how little food you have been able to buy. I know that you're nearly starving because you don't get enough to eat.  You thought of that? No. No, I never looked at it like that. Isn't it difficult enough for them, as it is, without having the additional worry of their mother's health on their minds? This food isn't meant to be charity, Mrs. Bixby. It's medicine. You need to take it. Yes. I do need it, General Schuller. Thank you. And I'm sorry for the things I said. Oh, Mrs. Bixby, there are times when I'm quite deaf. You know, I haven't heard a single word you've said since I came here. Goodbye, and let's hope for the best. Watch out. That's my bum leg. Sure, I know it. I want to see how it's doing. Say, you're the fella, aren't you? You fixed it up yesterday? Yeah. Hey, it's doing all right, too. You'll be up and around another two or three weeks. You remember my brother? The fellow was talking to me while you were working on me yesterday. Brother? Oh, yeah, sure. He said his outfit was moving on after they ate. Gee, I wish he was still here. I'd like to talk some more. Yeah, sure. I guess that bunch did plan on moving up last night. Plans were changed at the last minute, though. They sent out a scouting party to look things over. Your brother was one of the volunteers. Yeah? And he got captured? Nope. Killed. I came to your house as soon as I read the casualty list this morning, Mrs. Bixby. I'm... well, what can I say? Thank you, General Scooler. There's nothing either of us can say, I guess. Poor... poor George. Now, all of them. Five wonderful boys, General Scooler. Gone. My entire family wiped out. I... I had a double purpose in coming here this morning, Mrs. Bixby. I... I had to talk to someone, someone who'd understand. I know you will. You see that same casualty list? It included the name of my boy, too. Oh. Oh, I'm so sorry for you.  No, Mrs. Bixby, there's no one to feel anything but me. They were just the two of us, my son and I. Oh. Then... and you lost your entire family, too. Just as I did. Thank you, Mrs. Bixby. Thank you for putting it that way. The governor will see you, General Scooler. Go right in. Thank you, Wilson. Oh, come in, Scooler. Terrible about your son. Terrible. My sympathy goes out to you. Oh, thank you, sir, but that's not what I wanted to see you about. Oh? You've heard me speak of a Mrs. Bixby and five boys in the service. Last I heard, she'd lost two or three of them, hadn't she? How's the poor woman bearing up? She's lost all five, Governor. Word just came through this morning. Oh, why, that's... that's a national tragedy, Scooler. Five boys from one family, it's... what can we do about it? I thought maybe you might ask that same question of the war department. We can't overlook this woman's great sacrifice, Governor. Oh, certainly not. I'll get to the department right away, Scooler. Make sure of the facts first and then see if there are any suggestions. Come in. Oh, come in. Come in, Mrs. Bixby. I got here as soon as I could, General. I'd have come to your house, but I... You're busy, I know. You look weary. Oh, you're not a bit of it. I'm fine. The war's finally going our way. I guess our sons will be remembered as winners, after all. I couldn't feel any prouder of them, regardless of the outcome, General, Scooler. I know. It's just... well, you know and I know how they fought and died for their country. But does their country know? Or care? Mrs. Bixby, the reason I asked you to come here, I received a letter sent through the war department. It's addressed to you. Well, I think it answers that question. A letter from the war department? Open it. Read it, Mrs. Bixby. I'm going out for a while, so make yourself at home here in my office. No one will bother you. I wonder. Oh, Mrs. Bixby, Boston, Massachusetts. Dear Madam, I have been shown in the files of the war department a statement of the adjutant general of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the republic they died to save. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom yours very sincerely and respectfully. Abraham Lincoln, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Lincoln, for knowing and for caring. This is Roddy McDowell again. From the story, Alter of Freedom, there comes more than the mention of Abraham Lincoln because his name stands for the things we love most in our American life. He believed in God and in mankind. In the lessons of the past and in the hopes of the future. In the need of sacrifice and in the value of prayer. And from his courage and difficulties there comes new hope for our own generation. A hope that the foundation of our way of life, the American home, will stay together in peace and unity. For a house divided against itself cannot stand. Where there is disunity, there is no peace. And without God, without the help of prayer, real unity cannot exist in our nation or in our homes. That is why family prayer should be a daily practice in all homes because the family that prays together stays together. Thank you for being with us and God bless you.
