(For folks on the west and south sides, it might be easier for you to go to Koloa, where Mark Naea is doing a very informative presentation on SmartMeters.) FIRST: Smart Meters & Beyond - The Co-op Kauai Really Wants Recently the KIUC Board of Directors spoke to the issue of a lack of genuine dialog within the Coop. Here is your chance to begin, and everyone's chance to really listen!
