This editorial by the Staradvertiser suggests that peer pressure will work in reducing energy consumption. Read the article here. How's about Counties competing - see who can develop buildings that don't rely on air-conditioning, take advantage of our own "renewable" energy (trade winds). Air conditioning in most of Hawaii is unnecessary and redundant.
We need to see what architectural (i.e., substantive and basic) changes we can make to our building design to obviate the need for unnecessary electricity. Outlaw hot water heaters?
