Home Grown Energy

Maui is blessed with abundant resources- wind, sun, ocean currents and potential crops that could be harnessed to produce clean energy.

Energy self-sufficiency needs to be encouraged with incentives and built into our short and long-term planning process.

We also have opportunities to create far greater energy efficiency in our homes, resorts, public buildings, businesses and transportation planning.

Both these efforts offer well-paying jobs and a chance to develop technologies that can be exported to other Pacific Rim nations.

Maui County policy makers can lead the way to a new energy future.
