It’s been well over a year since Doug McLeod resigned as Maui County Energy Commissioner and formed his own consulting firm (DKK Energy Services LLC), after holding down the post for four years.

Solar Power Is Helping and Hurting Hawaiian Electric

Gimme S’more

December 22, 2009 by Anuhea Yagi Leave a Comment

The 7th century Chinese get all the credit for fireworks.
