REQUESTING A COMMITMENT TO A NUCLEAR-FREE, SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.

This Senate Resolution (SR 102) is a symbolic statement, not a law, reaffirming Hawaii's existing constitutional ban on nuclear power plants (Article XI, Section 8) and opposing nuclear energy development. It cites Hawaii's unique risks - including geological instability, ocean transport hazards, and the state's 100% renewable energy goal by 2045 (per Act 97) - as reasons to prioritize solar and wind over nuclear. The resolution directs state officials (Governor, Attorney General, county mayors) to uphold this commitment but does not create new legal requirements or affect residents directly. It explicitly rejects nuclear energy as incompatible with Hawaii's clean energy path and safety concerns.
