Encourages the federal government and all states to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy to lower consumer costs, create jobs, and reduce climate change impacts on the economy.

Notes Hawaii's sea level has risen half a foot in recent decades, causing beach erosion estimated at $2,000,000,000 in annual economic losses, and ocean acidification has damaged coral reefs valued at $9,700,000,000.

Highlights Hawaii's renewable energy progress, including a rise from 9% renewable electricity in 2007 to 25% in 2017, resulting in over $250,000,000 in savings and thousands of jobs created through rooftop solar installations.

Documents consumer savings from renewable energy adoption, including $945 average annual electric bill reductions in 2015 and 30% fuel cost reductions from electric vehicle adoption.

Directs certified copies be sent to the President, U.S. Secretary of Energy, congressional committee chairs, state governors, and the Mayor of the District of Columbia; urges support for retraining fossil fuel workers during the transition to renewable energy.
