Hawaii residents pay 43 cents per kilowatt-hour for electricity. The national average is 18 cents. In the way of solutions that can fix this issue is our permitting framework.
I make the case in an op-ed published recently by Honolulu Civil Beat. The single most effective thing lawmakers can do right now to bring rates down is make it faster and easier to permit and build clean energy in Hawaii.
SEH recently wrote an opinion piece for the Hawaii Tribune-Herald, extolling the value of properly developed geothermal energy systems and highlighting the role that community engagement plays in ensuring sustainable solutions.
…for solutions to be truly sustainable, we must focus on their full life-cycle impact — their global carbon emission and environmental impact, based on what’s required to produce, transport, use, recycle and dispose of them. Doing this allows us to understand the “cradle to cradle” costs and dependencies of a solution and helps us deliver those with the lowest environmental costs. It will also ensure that our solutions can be sustained into the distant future.
