Hawaii's electric utilities to accelerate the 2020 interim RPS target or renewables from 25 percent to 30 percent, and, of course, go to 100 percent renewable energy by 2045.

I think you definitely have a very unique situation, and that is why you have a wonderful senator who is going to address some of those needs.

Hawaii has already more than doubled its use of renewable electricity in 6 years to 21 percent.

Our two states could become test beds for how we can provide affordable and, in our case, renewable energy to remote areas.

This is the most ambitious plan and goal in the country.

The impact of compact migrants in our states is large, and we do not provide enough resources to help a state like Hawaii.

Madam Chair, it seems as though my time is up, although it did not feel like five minutes.

Certainly the GEMS approach, we use rate reduction bonds that are securitized.

I do not think that our country is meeting its obligations under our compacts.

Hawaii created the Green Energy Market Securitization Program, or GEMS, to help more people invest in renewable energy.

I echo those sentiments about singing to the choir.
