03-18-2010 - Issue Forum:  Discussion on Clean Energy in Hawaii

We've begun a regular series of public discussions focusing on issues of importance to Hawaii. Earlier this week, Neil was part of a panel discussing early childhood issues and what we are doing to ensure the well-being of our youngest keiki.

Join us at Abercrombie for Governor headquarters (Ward Warehouse, 2nd Floor, next door to Kincaid's) for the next discussion, on Monday, March 22, 2010, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., about clean energy in Hawaii. Attendance is free of charge. The event will be broadcast live on the web for those who cannot attend in person.

Hawaii is blessed with the most diverse array of alternative energy potential of any state in the nation. Harnessing the natural resources available on our islands to generate renewable energy is an essential part of moving Hawaii toward energy independence. Now we must take it to the next level, and fast.

Three experts from the field will join Neil Abercrombie in a panel discussion: What is the future of clean energy in Hawaii? Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and join the discussion.

In addition to Neil Abercrombie, the panelists will be:

* Mark Duda, Hawaii Solar Energy Association
* Robert Harris, Sierra Club, Hawaii Chapter
* Sharon Miyashiro, Hawaii Energy Policy Forum

Please RSVP to Josh Levinson at (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or call 589-2237. And stay tuned for details about the next discussion, scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, April 6. We'd love to hear your suggestions for topics we should cover in future forums.
