Speaker: Clint Churchill – Practical Policy Institute of Hawaii

Topic: LNG – A Sensible Solution for Oahu’s Energy Future

Practical Policy Institute of Hawaii has argued that LNG is right for Hawaii even as Hawaii pushes for 100% renewables by 2045.  Now, Japanese firm JERA Americas has submitted a proposal to the State to build a $2 billion Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) 500 mega-watt power plant and offshore import terminal at Kalaeloa, Oahu by 2030.  It is argued LNG can reduce CO2 emissions by 30% if we can stop burning black fuel oil at HECO power plants.  Clint will present their arguments for their LNG position.
