Duke Aiona: Maximize our many renewable energy resources

Everyone who lives or visits these islands must understand and appreciate this concept of stewardship. We are not the owners of the natural resources that make up Hawaii. We need to understand that we are the anointed and appointed caretakers of our natural resources, and we must malama the aina, stop the littering, recycle our waste and maximize our many renewable energy resources.

[OTI note: "Malama Aina" is a Hawaiian phrase that means caring for and honoring the land.]

Kirk Caldwell: Strongly support 100% renewable energy by 2045

There is no other state in the country more vulnerable to climate change than Hawai'i. And there are no ecosystems more threatened than those in Hawai'i, especially when you consider the vast ocean environments surrounding us. I have always strongly supported Governor Ige's aggressive goals of 100% renewable energy by 2045, and believe we also need such a commitment to other areas of our environment and preparation for climate change.
