Insights on PBS Hawaii program (aired October 22, 2015)
"A multi-billion dollar deal merging Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries with Florida energy company NextEra Energy is on the table. NextEra Energy says it will provide a more affordable clean energy future for Hawaii, but opponents have concerns over how a merger might impact consumers and Hawaii’s renewable energy goals. The pending deal has also prompted some to examine the merits of other available options, such as utility cooperatives or county-run utilities."
