Maui fires caused by faulty wiring

Because Maui thought their money was better spent in developing green energy

Between 2019 and 2022, it invested less than $245,000 on wildfire-specific projects on the island, regulatory filings show. . . Former regulators and energy company officials said the utility was focused at that time on procuring renewable energy. . .

“You have to look at the scope and scale of the transformation within [Hawaiian Electric] that was occurring throughout the system,” said Mina Morita, who chaired the state utilities commission from 2011 to 2015. “While there was concern for wildfire risk, politically the focus was on electricity generation.”

So they basically ignored all of the real risks of a wildfire disaster that will end up claiming more than 100 lives and destroying lord knows how many millions in personal assets. But they sure did spend a lot of money preventing the "climate emergency" that has been created in the heads of your basic climate change idiots.

This is the difference between logical thinking and pie in the sky dreaming. The former is pretty much needed to survive in day to day life, while the latter only seems to get in the way of the former.

Moreover, the Utilities commission openly admits that their focus was not on improving the actual utilities in Maui, but rather they were "politically focused" on other things. This thinking got people killed.

Bottom line:

They sacrificed over a 100 of their citizens at the altar of climate change activism...
