With the most diverse array of alternative energy potential of any state in the nation, Hawaii has set out to become a living laboratory for the rest of the country, hoping it can slash its dependence on fossil fuels while keeping the lights on.

They are trying and that is good. There are so many threats to the delicate ecosystems of the islands.

Until the energy crisis of the 1970s, people did not realize how much oil comes from sources outside the United States. Many United States citizens don't want to be dependent on others for energy. They fear such dependence might give foreign nations too much power over the United States. If the United States can find other sources of energy that will always be available, there will be less worry about using so much foreign oil. This is why the government has supported research to find new ways to get energy from sources such as the wind, the sun, and the ocean. Hawaii is moving in the right direction.
