The state’s Pubic Utilities Commission (often referred to as the PUC) will ultimately decide whether or not the merger will take place. When the PUC decides whether or not to approve the merger, do you think they will ultimately put the best interests of Hawaii’s residents first, or will they make their decision as the result of pressure from politicians and business interests?

Do you think that your electricity will cost more or less ten years from now if the NextEra-HECO merger goes through than it would otherwise, or will rates most likely be about the same either way?....Even if you’re not sure, please just make your best guess.

Do you think Hawaii’s movement toward 100% renewable energy by 2045, as is required by state law, will happen more quickly if the merger goes through, more slowly if it goes through, or will it happen at about the same speed either way?....Even if you’re not sure, please just make your best guess.
