Behaving as Concerned Citizens

Behaving as Concerned Citizens To the Forum:

I decided to speak after seeing and reading a lot of these letters and watching

the endless and boring line of cry babies on TV. I really have to ask, who has

moved a feather to resolve our energy problems? Who has taken private time and

resources to take a chance and risk to do anything?

Now we have an

opportunity to change things and REALLY do something for the future of our

beloved island. Some concerned and respectful citizens have taken the chance

and put their faces on the stage assuming responsibilities. They care, and as

far as I noticed during their meetings, they seem to have a lot more to do—not

really needing more work.

Let’s offer options and constructive criticism,

let’s get together and join forces to build something strong and reliable, if

you are tired of these old technologies, show us some options and real

solutions based on hard work. This is a small island, here if you do wrong the

good people soon get the word. Which is actually great…We get less crooked

people doing their things.

I have to ask who spent some time researching

about the Kauai Island Utility Co-op board members? Who really studied about

what a co-op really is? Now is time to get informed, to join the fight and add

to the group. We are all taking for´ granted, this is like a hurricane

aftermath, now is the moment to take advantage of the blessings for being

attached to the strongest economy in the whole world and do something

good.

These people managed to get us the means to decide together about our

energy future. What are you going to do about it ? Cross your arms? Get

informed and take a side!! Are you concerned? Please present some responsible

options, showing your children that you are capable of changing history at

least on this little lost rock in the ocean.

We can develop amazing new

technologies and solutions together, bring your capabilities and hopes to the

table. These people are serious and responsible and care as much as you do. But

please enough with the whining in the background, show us solutions and please

do some homework before going on TV, some opponents are just pathetic. Energy

for this island is serious business lets act according.
