Your Feb. 5 editorial said, “Since 2010, the state has required solar water heating in all new homes” (Star-Advertiser, Our View).

What if I don’t want it? Sure, there are tax incentives to going solar, but they won’t last forever. I want a say in the energy choices I make for my home and decide what works best for my family.

Instantaneous gas-powered water heating and gas for cooking provides a better source of energy and helps lower my bills. Don’t take away my choices and make it more expensive for me to live in Hawaii.
