Install PV on homeowners’ roofs
Instead of wasting precious land for solar farms, the state should partner with Hawaiian Electric and install photovoltaic panels on homeowners’ roofs. The homeowners would pay their regular monthly bills to Hawaiian Electric until the panels are paid off. After the panels are paid off, Hawaiian Electric could lower their monthly rates.

Zuckerberg meddled in elections, too
I read that Russia spent $300 million meddling in our elections. My immediate thought was that this was less than Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent meddling in our election. It reminds me of a quote: “Government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized crime.”

Leaders have become deeply divisive
I found Nancy Grekin’s letter, “‘Alternative facts’ both funny and frightening” (Star-Advertiser, Sept. 9), very accurate. Our leaders are so deeply divided politically, they can’t seem to realize how fractious they’ve become.
