Wednesday, March 17, 2010

60 Megawattsof power is available from photovoltaic solar energy on military bases in Hawaii

16 Megawatts

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Hawaii leads the nation in solar water heating with

80,000 Installed systems

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

All new homes in Hawaii are now required to have SOLAR THERMAL PANELS installed

of Maui’s power

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Saving 600 barrels of oil every day!

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Additional power from new wind projects on Maui by 2012

22 Megawatts:

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

400 Megawatts:Energy from two proposed wind farms on Molokai and Lanai

That’s 25% of Oahu’s capacity!

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

30 Megawatts:Energy from proposed wind farm in Kahuku on Oahu

Supplying electricity to 7,700 homes!

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Estimated wind energy available in all of Hawaii1000 Megawatts:

That’s about HALF of what oil provides right

The power grids for each island are currently separate and disconnected

BUT!

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Undersea cables are needed to connect the islands’ grids

40% of Hawaii’s energyis used to power buildings

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Using energy more efficiently, switching to CFLs and energy efficient appliances can make an impact

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

60% of our energy is used for transportation

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Conserving on the road

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Hawaii is partnering with Better Place to put

3,000 electric cars on Hawaii’s roads by 2010

and 50,000 by 2015

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

There are incentives to conserving and becoming more energy efficient
