STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3150
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: H.C.R. No. 178
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Energy and Environment, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 178 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING OCTOBER AS ENERGY AWARENESS MONTH IN HAWAII,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to recognize October as Energy Awareness Month in Hawaii.
Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by one state agency and one organization. Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Hawaii faces a turning point in its energy policy, and we can either remain a net importer of oil or we can become a model for the development and use of clean energy technology. If Hawaii is to advance energy and climate security, we must focus on energy efficiency, promote sustainable industries, accelerate job training and job creation in these areas, and set effective and achievable standards for the generation and use of clean energy. Your Committee finds that this measure will encourage all persons to recognize the contributions of individuals, organizations, and companies that are committed to advancing energy innovation and efficiency, and promote the importance of a clean energy economy in Hawaii.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Energy and Environment that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 178, and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Energy and Environment,
