RE:   H.C.R. No. 224

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs and Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 224 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING THE SUPPORT OF THE HAWAII STATE LEGISLATURE FOR THE NATURAL ENERGY LABORATORY OF HAWAII AUTHORITY AS AN INCUBATOR FOR RESEARCH AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF ENERGY, HIGH TECHNOLOGY, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE STATE OF HAWAII,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to reaffirm the support of the Legislature for the activities of the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) as an incubator for research, and the commercialization of clean and renewable energy, high technology, and economic development in the State.

 

     Several concerned individuals supported this concurrent resolution.

 

     Nowhere in Hawaii, other than at NELHA, is there such a unique combination of companies focused on reducing Hawaii's energy dependency and developing technologies related to the State's abundant ocean resources.  Your Committees note that individuals representing more than 325 families are employed at NELHA, and annual revenue is estimated at $70,000,000.

 

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs and Energy & Environmental Protection that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 224 and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs and Energy & Environmental Protection,
