I Agree with the first party of your post - 100% - 'The reality of 'climate change' ' has nothing to do with it.. The REALITY of saving money should be the strongest point, something even NON-believers such as myself, can put in their wallet. I've dropped my Electric bill in Hawaii from $800 a month to $80 because of Solar. My equipment paid for itself in 2 years!

"Accelerate the rise of Minimum Wage" -  not so fast! The jump in pay would cause more problems that it would fix - including resentment from those that have worked hard to get to the wage point they worked for, sometimes for years. Hawaii has a lot of problems, the Dems keep ignoring them - We need to shake them up so we can BEGIN to fix things..
