Off Grid Living: This plan wants to work with the DOH around water catchment. The last thing locals want are more regulations and fines for off grid living. Not one person has died from unhealthy water catchment. This should be removed from the plan. Locals know how to take care of themselves. That is not the government's job. Please help stop government overreach. • Carbon: There is a section on the plan about reducing carbon. This should be removed. It is government overreach and will increase regulations and reduce freedom for people under a false premise. The General Plan manager stated that they did research with the Federal Government, not actual weather experts and scientists. Gregg Braden is a geologist, five - time New York Times best-selling author, scientist, international educator, and renowned as a pioneer in the emerging paradigm based in science, social policy, and human potential, had this to say about the dangers of carbon on the planet: "The idea that carbon dioxide is a poison is a false narrative to begin with. We are carbon -based beings. By demonizing carbon dioxide and carbon life, we're actually demonizing ourselves. Source: "Gregg Braden - Why "THE POWERS THAT BE" are So Desperate to Reduce Carbon Dioxide on OUR Planet?" by Gregg Braden Official, January 11, 2023. https://youtu.be/7vJ-Qefos8A? si=BviOKcdznXx6tgSQ Braden also stated in the same interview: `If you could look at the ice cores in Antarctica and Greenland, you would see that the temperature of the Earth increases or decreases around 800 years before the change in carbon dioxide. That means carbon dioxide does not drive the change; it is the response to the temperature change. "We're being led to believe that carbon levels of CO2 have never been higher; that the Earth is going to be destroyed if they are higher; and that CO2 is the driving temperature, both of which are not true." • Climate Change: This entire section should be removed. It is absolute government overreach again on a false premise. An article at Britannica.com written by Thor Arthur Hansen, Professor of Invertebrate Paleontology, Paleoecology, and Evolution at Western Washington University, U.S., and Carl Fred Koch, Professor of Geological Sciences at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia. It was fact -checked by The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica and last updated on Feb 7, 2024. The article said that sea level was higher primarily because the water in the ocean basins was displaced by the enlargement of mid -oceanic ridges . It was not due to carbon! It was due to the Earth's mantle.

It is important to have experts give their opinion and not those invested in renewable energy. • Rezoning: The plan will not directly rezone areas but it opens the door to rezoning in many many areas. This will change people's way of life and have a huge impact on the future of our keiki. What local would want that? This plan should be stopped immediately. It is not the plan that 4K locals worked on. No local would want... • Their property value to be reduced • To turn much of the coastland to conservation and have that impact people's property value and right to enjoy the land • To have more regulations, policies and fines • To have "incentives" ie. tax increases, to force people to do what the government wants There are no sections in the plan for:
