...unless we dramatically reduce consumption of fossil fuels Hawaii people won't really be able to afford them in the long run.

Let the oil companies show this is better in Court. Do you remember what happened last time a big business tried to jump the legal shark in Hawaii?

There might be an argument made that this would be good for businesses in the transportation industry with vehicle fleets, but they need to show it's an appropriate option with the existing framework of laws.

Are you opposed to the path to clean energy?
