Why Carbon Cashback?
HB2278 will reduce Hawaii’s emissions, benefit low-moderate income families, and enable our energy resilience. It will help us generate national tension for effective climate action. Learn more.
Did you know?
Hawaii pays billions to import fossil fuels every year. Our main sources of fossil fuel imports are Russia (until recently) and Libya.
Thus, our fossil fuel dependence introduces an energy security risk for Hawaii and subjects us to pricing volatility and a high cost of living.
Carbon Cashback aims to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels by incentivizing increased efficiency and a shift to less fossil fuel-dependent products and solutions. At the same time, it will direct fossil fuel tax revenue into the pockets of Hawaii's residents so that we can accommodate expected price increases.
