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.

SCR 108 is a non-binding Senate Concurrent Resolution urging Hawaii to reject new fossil fuel projects, specifically targeting liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure. It cites scientific consensus that LNG (composed largely of methane, 80x more potent than CO2) and fracking pose severe climate and health risks, including methane leaks and water contamination. The resolution requests state agencies avoid providing financial or regulatory support for new LNG projects and instead prioritize transitioning to renewable energy, aligning with Hawaii’s 2021 climate emergency declaration. It does not create new laws but directs state authorities to align energy decisions with climate science and community health values.
