Subject: Oppose Res. 163 Hydrogen
Aloha members of our County Council,
I strongly Oppose Resolution 163 (Hydrogen)
This proposed resolution, which will only have one hearing, authorizes the Mayor to execute agreement terms
unknown with cities in California and Japan which host hydrogen corporations. The purpose is to "advance
towards a hydrogen society". The RED FLAG is not about hydrogen BUT passing sweeping, vaguely worded
commitments, with minimal debate and less than a week's notice to the public IS the Red Flag.
This creates an element of(unintended) distrust with the public. There have been numerous times that the
council rushes to 'innovate'without a diligent process. The last time was Resolution 73, which supported up-
ending the entire county solid waste plan in three short years to benefit the Yummet corporation. Although I DO
support the scientific research and development by Yummet and its founder, Brittany Zimmerman, it is the
PROCESS and RUSH that appears controversial.
Please take the time to understand the facts around this resolution and allow the public also to understand the
promises and impacts. Passing anything this vague is corrosive and will damage our trust in you, our current
council of representatives.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Sylvia Dolena a o;c
