URGING THE STATE TO REJECT ENERGY SOURCES FOUND TO BE HARMFUL OR DESTABILIZING TO OUR CLIMATE SYSTEM AND ENVIRONMENT AND TO COMMIT TO RENEWABLE ENERGY AND THE VALUES OF HAWAII'S RESIDENTS.

HCR 210 is a non-binding concurrent resolution (not a law) urging Hawaii’s state government to reject energy sources harmful to the climate and environment, specifically targeting liquefied natural gas (LNG). It directs state agencies to avoid providing financial or regulatory support for new fossil fuel projects like LNG, which the resolution cites as contributing to methane emissions and climate impacts. The resolution requests that Hawaii focus resources on transitioning to renewable energy, aligning with scientific recommendations for reducing fossil fuel dependence. It applies directly to state officials, including the Governor, agency heads, and county mayors, as specified in the resolution’s transmission requirements.
