Summary

This concurrent resolution requests that the Hawaii State Legislature formally commit to maintaining Hawaii's nuclear-free status and continuing to pursue sustainable, renewable energy alternatives. The resolution does not create new law but rather expresses the Legislature's position against nuclear power development in Hawaii, citing the state's existing constitutional ban on nuclear fission plants, safety concerns related to Hawaii's geographic isolation and geological instability, and the state's existing commitment to achieving 100% renewable energy by 2045. The measure serves to reinforce Hawaii's long-standing opposition to nuclear energy while affirming support for solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources as the preferred path forward for the state's energy future.
