Hawaii is one of the most fossil fuel-dependent States in the nation, but the Hawaiian Clean Energy Initiative is looking to change that. Launched in 2008, the initiative is a partneship between the State, the U.S. DEpartment of Energy, and Hawaiian Electric Company that aims to increase energy efficiency and generate more power locally. The agreement is leading the way in relieving the State’s dependence on oil by boosting renewable energy from sources such as wind, solar, biomass and others by 2030
