SR 102

This Senate Resolution requests a formal commitment from Hawaii's legislature to maintain the state's nuclear-free energy policy and continue pursuing renewable energy alternatives. The resolution reinforces Hawaii's existing constitutional ban on nuclear power plants, citing safety concerns related to the state's geographic isolation, geological instability from earthquakes and volcanic activity, and the risks of transporting and storing nuclear waste. Rather than introducing new policy, the resolution serves as a statement of legislative intent to uphold the constitutional prohibition on nuclear energy and to continue supporting Hawaii's existing goal of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2045 through solar, wind, and other sustainable sources.
