State
Representative Takashi Ohno proposes prohibiting purchase of new gas-run cars
in efforts to meet Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative goals
Honolulu, HawaiĘ»i – State
Representative Takashi Ohno (Nu‘uanu, Liliha, Pu‘unui, Alewa Heights)
introduced a bill that would make this the last decade where solely gas powered
cars will be sold in Hawai‘i. House
Bill 2593 would allow the sale of only electric, hydrogen, or hybrid
vehicles by car dealerships starting in 2030. Re-sale of gas-powered, used
vehicles as well as purchase of large commercial vehicles or buses would still
be allowed.
"Seeing young leaders take the lead
to protect our planet inspired me to make a strong statement on how Hawai‘i can
be a model of clean energy," said Ohno. "Future visitors to our state
will see Hawai‘i's roads full of green cars and understand how deeply our
community cares for the planet we all share."
