The facts are evidence of electricity being very very expensive in Hawaii, to the point where even the most unfavorable policy on solar in the western world makes installing solar a very worthwhile investment if you have the space and upfront cash. Of course this state of affairs tells you a lot about HECO. You have to be a special blend of incompetent if you can't use solar in a place where air conditioning makes up large swaths of load, which has this funny synergy with the sun.

In a parallel line of discussion you would presumably tell me the increase in heroin consumption is evidence of a more welcoming stance on its use in society. No, its just such a powerful drug that the DEAs activities only increases the number of addicts.
