text: Replacing fluorescent bulbs with LED bubs is cheap.  Costco sells 2 four foot LED replacment bulbs for under $20 and should just come out of the DOE's own maintenance budget.  What DOE & the State should be doing is purchasing PV panels outright and installing on all DOE buildings the way Ala Moana Shopping Center is completely covered in PV panels.  Then DOE's yearly electric bill, paid by Hawaii taxpayers, would go down MILLIONS of dollars and will greatly support the PV installation industry in Hawaii. Of course HECO does not want millions in lost revenue FOREVER so this manini energy savings of LED bulbs, making sure refrigerators are properly maintained, etc.   Also another reason why HECO was so in favor of the Oahu train to nowhere project becasue they will make many millions to build & maintain a new fossil fuel electrical generator plant to power the train & the many hundreds of millions HECO will make to relocate power lines and all electrical infrastructure along the route.
