20.e Adopt a Complete Streets ordinance. <br /> What is a "Complete Streets ordinance"? Another regulation? <br /> Page 119 <br /> 22.7 Develop roadway standards to accommodate emerging technology for <br /> connected and automated vehicles. <br /> This needs to be opposed because the Big Island has power issues and cannot handle <br /> all its current power needs. It does not have extra power to connect many electric <br /> vehicles, which will only add to its power issues. <br /> Plus, if there is a big storm and we lose power, those electric cars cannot run, their <br /> batteries do not decompose, and the island needs a new way to take care of rubbish <br /> because there is only one landfill on the island. These cars will only add to the many <br /> issues the island already has. <br /> "Hawaii Island is in the enviable position of having a landfill with anywhere from 20 <br /> to 100 years of capacity left to take in trash. But the island still wrestles with <br /> significant issues like plastic products that are no longer being <br /> recycled." https:Hwww.waste360.com/landfill/hawaii-deals-with- <br /> burgeoning-waste-management-problem <br /> "Hawaiian Electric is reporting that several large generators on the Big Island are <br /> experiencing a range of issues and may lead to the need for rolling outages if supply <br /> does not meet demand." <br /> https://www.reddit.com/r/BigIsland/comments/1bnuar3/hawa <br /> Han-electric_is_reporting-that_several_large/?rdt=52660 <br /> Page 130 <br /> 25.5 Encourage the clustering of developments to reduce the cost of providing <br /> utilities. <br /> How will "clustering developments" reduce the cost of utilities? We all use the same <br /> power whether we live clustered up, like the county wants, or not. <br /> The solution to help power the island is not "clustering" everyone. It is asking <br /> homeowners/resorts/vacation rentals to purchase solar panels, use wind turbines, or <br /> use other natural ways to create their own power. If everyone steps up, we can all <br /> make good chances together. <br /> This petition offers other solutions https://WWW.change.org/p/help-big- <br /> 18 <br />
