Ua haʻalele ka poʻe noho o kahi kaiāulu o Detroit i ka pōʻeleʻele ma hope o kahi hoʻonohonoho pono e manaʻo nei e hoʻomālamalama hou i ko lākou mau alanui e hoʻohana ana i ka mana o ka lā.
Ke hana nei ʻo Highland Park ma Michigan, e hoʻouka i 200 mau kukui uila o ka lā a puni ke kūlanakauhale e pani i nā mea i lawe ʻia e DTE Energy ma muli o nā pila uila i uku ʻole ʻia.
ʻO Highland Park, kahi e hoʻopuni ʻia e Detroit, ua hilinaʻi nui ʻia i ka hana hewa ʻole o ka hoalauna ʻoiai ua ʻike nā kūlanakauhale ʻelua i ka emi ʻana o ko lākou lehulehu. ʻOiai he mau kamaʻāina 50,000 ma Highland Park ma hope o ke Kaua Honua II, ua heleleʻi ka heluna kanaka i 11,000 wale nō i ka 2010 i ka neʻe ʻana o nā mea kaʻa, e hana pū ana me lākou.
Me kahi waihona ʻauhau liʻiliʻi ʻaʻole hiki i ke kūlanakauhale ke uku i kāna mau pila uila, a ma 2011 ua hōʻea ʻo Highland Park i kahi noho me DTE Energy kahi i ʻae ai ke kūlanakauhale e hemo aku i ka ʻelua hapakolu o kāna mau kukui kukui. ʻAʻole pio wale kēia mau kukui alanui, akā ua hoʻopau ʻia a wehe ʻia hoʻi mai nā pou.

Ua hele mai kēia ma hope o ka uku ʻole ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale i kahi bila uila uila $ 60,000 i ka mahina e hopena ana i ka deficit $ 4 miliona iā DTE. Ua kala ʻo DTE i ka hōʻaiʻē ma ka lawe hou ʻana ma luna o nā kukui kukui noho he 1000.

Mai kēia pilikia ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Highland a puni ka manaʻo o ke kūapo ʻana i nā kukui o ke alanui me nā kaiāulu nona, ma waho pono o nā kukui, nā kukui alanui uila. Inā he waiwai ko ke kaiāulu, ʻaʻole hiki i ka ʻoihana ke lawe iā ia mai iā lākou.
Ma kahi o ʻehā mau makahiki, ʻimi ʻo Highland e hōʻiliʻili i $ 1.5 miliona a hoʻōlapa i kahi hui kūkaʻina o nā kamaʻāina Highland Park e hoʻokele i ke kau ʻana o 200 mau kukui uila uila. He mea nui kēia hoʻolālā no Highland Park no ka mea ʻaʻole ia i nakinaki ʻia a ʻaʻohe kumu kūʻai o nā kukui.

Kuhi nā kukui alanui o ka lā i ka ikehu i nā hola o ke ao a ʻā nō hoʻi i ke ahiahi. Hiki i ka pākiko ke hana i nā mea hou aʻe ma mua o ka lawa o ka uku ma o ka paneli o ka lā a hiki i kahi lā ʻōpua.

Hiki i kēia papahana ke lawe iā Highland Park mai kona "wā pouli" ʻoiai e ʻae i ke kūlanakauhale e lilo i kahua hōʻoia no kēia ʻano o nā hana hou.
