Hawaii's Feed-In Tariff: More Information Needed, Pronto - Big Backers Like Hawaii But Need Details, Economics

In my time working on the U.S. Mainland (I'm splitting time there now between SF and HNL), I've been talking to a lot of top-tier venture capitalists, energy project financiers, and investment bankers involved in green energy.

We could consider it but it is outside our normal sponsorships. We have a HiBEAM Boards meeting this comming Wednesday. How much are we talking about? HiBEAM is non-political so we avoid stuff like Act 221 which some Board members like and some ( like me) find abhorent. Send me an email at Barry.m.weinman@gmail.com with the partcilars ( pitch) including cost and topics and I will bring it up Wednesday.

Great work!

Carnet speaks very highly of you guys.
