Since I am not familiar with the intricacies of photovoltaic systems, and was merely pointing out an observation of mine, it was really good of you to put me in my place. You did an exemplary job of pointing out common sense information that only someone of your superior intellect would be able to discern. Nevermind that my comment was directed at a particular post (hence the time notation), and did not require a response from you, I appreciate your trivial reply nonetheless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-51244876809469310512013-12-02T22:25:03.618-10:002013-12-02T22:25:03.618-10:00I like your idea of boycotting KKCR.

It is a Co-Op and it's leadership acting like a private corporation that can dictate and threaten with it's products and services . <br /> It is unfortunate that it's leadership has not achieved any new initiatives that are cost saving or help provide the services. <br />The workers of KIUC are truly dedicated and good people but the current leadership lacks professionalism and the ability to be creative or open to more then "one thought process". It lives off the Federal dollars to "follow vs. Lead". It disrespects it's public membership who has diverse opinions and continues to maintain a forceful track to force it's membership into compliance. Truly if the $10.00+ was going to a worker of KIUC to read the meters and provide work for our people on Kauai this fee is no problem, but I know of no hard working regular employee at KIUC getting a salary of $300K . .....
