Summary
This concurrent resolution requests that the Hawaii Legislature formally commit to maintaining the state's nuclear-free status and continuing its pursuit of renewable energy goals. The resolution reaffirms Hawaii's existing constitutional prohibition on nuclear power plants, cites safety concerns related to the state's geographic isolation and geological instability, and argues that nuclear energy would be economically inefficient and incompatible with Hawaii's goal of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2045. While not creating new law, the resolution serves as a formal statement of legislative opposition to nuclear energy development in Hawaii and directs that copies be transmitted to key state and county officials to communicate this position.
