90% of Hawaii's energy comes from imported oil, making it the most oil-dependent state in the nation.

Recognizing the need for clean renewable energy, Hawaii set a plan in motion to achieve 70% clean energy by 2030.

The Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative is the most ambitious renewable energy goal in the nation, and will serve as an world model for energy independence.
