Can you post link again, didn't work
News on the political failures now ramping up. Biden smiling when asked about this, saying no comment... Was pretty disgusting. Then he offers to send people 1k...? What a pathetic offer of help.
Meanwhile, he sends hundreds of billions to fund someone elses war...
I bet Hawaii wishes a president that puts "America first" was in office.
Biden should be ashamed of his presidency. Shut your mouth, and send some REAL money to help. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is doing more for Hawaii, than our own government.. Biden is one pathetic leader.
You know, it doesn't even really matter what the truth is. It only matters who will be taking the fall. It's easy to blame HE, wether they are at fault or not. It's pretty clear, they are the ones with the target on their back, and a very believable story paints them as the devil.
I see HE getting slaughtered by lawsuits, and liability, and forced into chapter eleven restructuring.
Equity will get wiped out, debt restructured, and new investors will be found to jump into a restructured company that exits from chapter eleven.
You mean these sensors in Private Homes that have nothing to do with HE?
"The data was collected by a network of smart sensors called Ting.
The sensors are distributed to homeowners by insurance companies. They’re designed to detect electrical hazards that could spark a house fire."
https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2023/08/18/new-data-reveals-dozens-power-grid-malfunctions-leading-up-maui-wildfires/
Also the timing of that WSJ article about reaching out to restructuring firm. To cause further FUD to drop it down to $9. 2 days before dividends.
How did they get that information? This is a public company and no news or press release by them. Who benefited from that release of information? This is a leak in plain site and it's criminal IMO.
But anyways... I'm confident, but I could be wrong too.
Your talking about a message from 6 years ago.
All bears trying to fear mongering here
I get what you're saying.
Bloomberg had a guy on talking about it, and the sensors they have in place all over. He said the sensors were going off basically all over, and they still failed to shut down, which the sensors were alerting them to do..
I've wanted to be bullish here, but from what I've read, it really looks like HE is going to be on the hook. And with HE reaching out to restructuring firms already, it appears they know they're on the hook.
I could of course be wrong, but it's not looking good.
So let me get this straight. The electric company should preemptively shut down power by predicting an act of god. Makes total sense....
https://abc7ny.com/maui-fires-hawaii-wildfire-hawaiian-electric-lawsuit-power-lines/13657819/
Plus, they are in talks with restructuring firms.
You said "they have video proof". Who is they?
Welp... Today they said they have video proof HE is at fault, with their equipment failing, sending massive amounts of sparks, which started fires.
Game Over
halted and down it goes, could go to $10 who knows my opinion
I call it Educated. I seen the propaganda being shown. Anyways no point in us arguing you're out and I'm in. I will take your luck as a blessing. Cheers.
Calling a lawsuit frivolous, without it actually starting, and evidence being shown...
Is called wishful thinking.
Good luck!
Not the same. The lawsuits are frivolous, made up to tank the share price.
Uncle.
I guess people are dead, and HE is the main suspect...
Looks like a repeat of the California shit show.
Lawsuits, bankruptcy.
New beginning.
In at 15. The volatility is equivalent to bio stocks, I fit right in.
I am a buyer at $18, gonna bid sit this one.
Government shutdown looming...
If trump shuts down the goervermnet and it ends up that he doesn’t sign the bill by Dec. 31 11:59pm. The whole Farm Bill is thrown away and has to start all over. With a new House and a new Senate. I feel this is why it’s dropped today not due to a pump and dump. All hemp stocks are down today and not by a little by a lot...
There is more evidence to support this than a pump and dump sham.
There is NOTHING up with this stock. They have no cutomers, no sales and no products that anyone wants. It's a stock selling scam. Run as far away from this thing as possible as quickly as possible unless you like losing your money.

Hawaiian Electric Company Names New President & CEO
Hawaiian Electric Company, subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) (NYSE:HE), today announced that Richard M. Rosenblum has been named President and CEO, effective January 1, 2009. Rosenblum replaces T. Michael May, who stepped down as President and CEO in August of this year.
Rosenblum, age 58, comes to Hawaii with 32 years of experience in all phases of utility operations at Southern California Edison (SCE), California’s largest electric utility. Most recently, he held the position of Senior Vice President of Generation, responsible for all of SCE’s power generation facilities. During that tenure, Rosenblum helped initiate the nation’s largest solar photovoltaic project, which aims to install 250 megawatts of solar generating capacity on commercial rooftops around Southern California.
Previously, he served for over seven years as senior vice president of the Transmission and Distribution business unit, responsible for the delivery of electricity in SCE’s 50,000-square-mile service territory. He has also held the positions of vice president of Engineering and Technical Services and vice president of SCE’s Distribution business unit, which included responsibility for customer service.
He has a background in nuclear generation, previously holding management positions at SCE’s San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station and serving as Chief Nuclear Officer for the company. Rosenblum earned bachelors and masters degrees in nuclear engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Rosenblum and his wife Michele have been part-time residents of Hawaii for over 20 years, with a home on the Big Island.
“Dick brings broad experience in all major areas of the utility business, proven leadership skills, and a belief in our strategic vision to help Hawaii create a clean energy future,” said Constance Lau, HEI President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Hawaiian Electric Company Board. “He has a reputation as an astute, open and approachable leader, qualities essential for the increasing collaboration needed in our business.” “This is a pivotal time for the energy industry, especially in Hawaii. I am pleased to have the opportunity be a part of these efforts, working with the company’s solid management team,” said Rosenblum. “Having been blessed to spend quite a bit of time here over the past 20 years, I appreciate that Hawaii is a unique and special place and that it is important to find solutions that are right for the Islands. I firmly believe that a utility must have a long-term vision developed in cooperation with the communities it serves and I expect to learn a lot by listening to the community, our employees, and our other stakeholders.” Hawaiian Electric Company, and its subsidiaries, Hawaii Electric Light Company and Maui Electric Company, supply the energy needs of over 400,000 customers or 95% of Hawaii’s population.
HONOLULU – Crews gradually restored electrical service across parts of Oahu on Saturday after a power failure blacked out the island's population of about 900,000 and thousands of visitors including President-elect Barack Obama.
Residents had been urged to just stay home after the lights went out during a thunderstorm Friday evening. Hawaiian Electric Co. was investigating the cause.
Service had been restored to about 180,000 of the utility's 295,00 customers by 8:30 a.m. Saturday, power company officials said.
Obama, wife Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha are staying in a $9 million, five-bedroom oceanfront home near downtown Honolulu.
Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann told The Associated Press that while he did not talk with Obama directly, he had conveyed an offer for assistance shortly after the blackout began and was told the president-elect and his family were doing fine.
"He replied he didn't need anything, was grateful for our offer and was going to put his family to bed," Hannemann said.
Hannemann said three generators had been installed earlier for Obama's rented compound. He said a fourth generator which Gov. Linda Lingle had sent for Obama was turned away, but the power company later set up a bigger one in the neighborhood in case it was needed.
Hawaiian Electric Co. spokeswoman Jan Loose said power to some neighborhoods would likely not be restored until late Saturday.
"Keep your fingers crossed. We should have everybody restored. But folks on the east side will be out most of the morning," Loose said in radio interviews.
The Honolulu Advertiser said the island-wide blackout prevented printing and delivery of the paper Saturday, but it provided an electronic edition on its Web site headlined "POWERLESS."
Honolulu International Airport operated on emergency generators, with flights delayed up to several hours. Some incoming passengers were kept on planes for extended periods.
Hawaiian Electric spokesman Peter Rosegg said the initial power outage hit at 6:45 p.m., affecting most of the island. The rest of Oahu lost power two hours later when the last generator failed.
The telephone provider Hawaiian Telcom kept most of its system in service on generator and battery backup, spokeswoman Ann Nishida said.
The outage closed stores at major retail outlets just after sunset, halting post-Christmas shopping a couple of hours early.
Highways were clogged as everyone tried to get home at once without stoplights to control traffic.
"I would advise ... everyone to just go to sleep," Lingle said in a radio interview late Friday
FORGOT TO LOOK IN MY BROKERAGE ACCOUNT TO SEE MY DIVIDEN ON THE 10TH ON THE MONTH. I REMMBER WHEN THEY PEOPLE SENT OUT THE STOCK, BUT NO MORE.
YOU NEED TO SEE IF THEY GOING GET ANY TARF MONEY? I HAVE ANY YET. IT ALL USED UP NOW.

Great point dragon man.
I'm watching this one at this point..want to see which way the tide flows before buying any
i think this good company. i just remember what Obama talk about carbon credit and each year they go up in price and there be less of them. he was going make big change in . to import coal and make blend of oil and coal.
Possibly, but doing the electric car stations may put them in

you have to wait and see. it well run company but obammer may come down hard on them because they burn so much oil.
this company used oil to make energy. no coal plants, or water plant . think the try wave tech to make power from ocean, but can not remember how good it was or if they in to that big time.

Hawaii Makes Big Bet on Electric Cars

Hawaii's governor unveiled a plan to create an electric-car network for the islands by 2012, part of an ambitious effort to wean the state from near-complete dependence on oil for its energy needs.
The plan, put forth by Republican Gov. Linda Lingle, calls for creating a public-private partnership with closely held Better Place to create 70,000 to 100,000 recharging points that would support plug-in electric cars expected to be available after 2011. Hawaii's biggest utility, Hawaiian Electric Co., also will aid in the rollout, and may offer special recharging rates, but doesn't intend to be an investor.

Associated Press
Gov. Linda Lingle aims to wean Hawaii from its dependence on oil.
Hawaii Makes Big Bet on Electric Cars
Hawaii Makes Big Bet on Electric Cars
Better Place, a Palo Alto, Calif., company founded in 2007 by former SAP AG executive Shai Agassi, is pursuing similar arrangements in Israel, Australia, Denmark and the San Francisco area. The challenge of building a huge number of recharging points is daunting, and Better Place has yet to line up financing, estimated at $75 million to $100 million, for the Hawaii venture.
Under the plan, consumers would buy or lease electric cars, and Better Place would supply recharging services and batteries. Consumers would have a choice of buying mileage plans -- which would include recharging services and battery swaps -- or being guests on the network and paying for each battery charge. Mr. Agassi said his firm will buy renewable electricity to cover his network's needs.
Gov. Lingle said Tuesday the arrangement with Better Place will "help Hawaii get off its extreme oil addiction," which costs the state $7 billion a year.
Under the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, created in January, the state intends to cut its dependence on oil to 30% from 90% by 2030. To do so, it must ramp up electricity production from renewable resources, like the wind and sun, and use electricity to displace gasoline in some portion of its 1.1 million vehicles. The state also sees a big role for biodiesel to fuel cars and power plants, especially if made by returning fallow land to agricultural use.
[Hawaii Makes Big Bet on Electric Cars]
Hawaiians pay high electricity prices because costly oil is burned to produce power. The price of electricity ranges from 24.9 cents per kilowatt hour on Oahu to 38.5 cents on Hawaii, the big island, compared with an average of 8.9 cents in the continental U.S. Such high prices should encourage the development of renewable energy. But there has been a big impediment: Electricity can't be moved among the six major islands, because there aren't adequate transmission lines.
That could be changing. There are now proposals to build large wind farms on Molokai and Lanai, and to turn those two islands, along with Maui, into a single grid, with the help of undersea cables. Surplus energy would be sent to Oahu, which consumes 80% of the state's electricity, on another undersea transmission line. These transmission upgrades could cost $750 million to $1 billion.
Other structural impediments could be removed. In late October, the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission opened proceedings that will change the way utilities are compensated for electricity sales, in an attempt to sweep away financial rewards for selling more kilowatt hours. The regulatory body is considering creating wholesale prices for power purchased by utilities from green sources.

Hawaii to be 1st state with electric car stations
Wednesday December 3, 9:34 am ET
By Audrey Mcavoy, Associated Press Writer
Hawaii aims to be first state with electric car stations
HONOLULU (AP) -- Hawaii has unveiled plans to be first in the nation to roll out electric car stations statewide -- a move the governor hailed as a major step toward weaning the islands off oil.
Hawaii imports foreign oil for almost 90 percent of its energy needs. One-third of that oil is used to power cars and buses on island streets.
ADVERTISEMENT
Gov. Linda Lingle said Tuesday the program would help Hawaii meet its goal of slashing fossil fuel use 70 percent by 2030.
"This is the preferred future," Lingle said at a press conference. "Today is a part of the execution of our energy independence, and our getting off the addiction to oil."
Better Place, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based company, will build the car recharging stations and provide recharged batteries for electric cars.
The company will purchase renewable energy -- such as wind power -- from Hawaiian Electric Co., the state's largest utility.
Better Place plans to have the stations open for the mass market by 2011. It expects to build between 50,000 to 100,000 charge spots -- in parking lots, downtown streets, and neighborhoods -- across the state by early 2012.
Other communities, like the San Francisco Bay area, have announced plans to host Better Place recharging stations. But Hawaii aims to be the first to have the stations statewide. Better Place also has deals to create electric vehicle infrastructures in Israel, Denmark and Australia.
Shai Agassi, Better Place's founder and chief executive officer, said the Nissan Motor Co.-Renault SA auto alliance has agreed to make electric cars that would be recharged at the stations.
Better Place is also talking to other automakers, including the U.S. Big Three: Chrysler LLC, Ford Motor Co., and General Motors Corp. Ford is planning to accelerate the roll-out of electric vehicles as part of its restructuring plan, submitted to Congress Tuesday. The first plug-in vehicle will be a Transit Connect small van for commercial use in 2010 and a car the size of the Ford Focus compact the following year.
Ford also said it will accelerate plans for hybrid gas-electric vehicles.
Lingle said other carmakers have an incentive to follow Nissan/Renault because they would want to sell cars in the new markets Better Place is creating.
"Nobody will want to be left on the sidelines once these networks are up," Lingle said.
Agassi said the electric cars will cost the same as gasoline powered vehicles.
Over time, however, they will be cheaper to make because they will use half as many parts as cars with internal combustion engines.
Better Place picked Hawaii for the first statewide rollout in part because the islands are a contained environment, with few vehicles coming in and out, Agassi said. Better Place would need to build a bigger network across several states to serve some mainland markets.
Hawaii also has abundant renewable energy resources, including wind, solar, geothermal and wave power. This is important because Better Place won't use oil, and aims to have a "zero carbon footprint."
For example, Agassi said Better Place plans to recharge its batteries at night with power from Hawaii's wind farms. That power normally goes unused because of Hawaii's low nighttime energy needs.
Agassi sees Hawaii as an ideal place to show off Better Place technology because the state welcomes over five million tourists each year from the U.S. mainland, Japan, Canada and the rest of the world.
"If we can get them into electric cars when they rent, we do two great things," Agassi said. "One, we avoid emissions and, two, we use the opportunity to educate them, to teach them in Hawaii how it needs to be done in the rest of the world."
Lingle said the state doesn't expect to spend any money to facilitate the network. However, she said the state may need to offer tax breaks or other incentives to encourage people to buy electric vehicles when they are first offered.
