What about the cost to dispose of EV batteries once they are no longer in use? These batteries cannot simply be thrown away. They are toxic to the environment and people. Hawaii is an island. So will you ship these batteries off island or store them and their toxic waste on the island? They should not be allowed here. What happens if the grid goes down? How will people charge their EV? • 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.

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.
