JRamsey Hawaii Democrat

For the state Hawaii the Congress person I most agree with is Mazie Hirono. She is a democrat and she is sponsoring many bills about alternative energy sources. One of the bills she is sponsoring is "to amend the eternal revenue of 1986 to modify the incentives for production of bio-diesel." This is her website []

Some interesting facts about my state are:

1. it is a string of islands formed by lava. 2. Hawaii is home to the worlds most active volcano, Kilauea. 3. Hawaii is that all of the representatives and senators are democratic and vote 90% of the time with their party. 4. There are a lot of endangered humpback whales and sea turtles around the Hawaiian islands 5. Used to have a monarch king but he was overthrown and Hawaii became a state in the United States of America

Five Facts about my the state of Hawaii that are related to alternative Energy sources are:

1. Hawaii is using a biomass gasifier to generate energy from sugar can residue 2. Hawaii wants to reduce oil usage by 40% by 2025 3. They are leading the way to energy independence for Hawaii 4. Hawaii is promoting development of alternative fuel vehicles 5. Can use of solar energy because sunlight is hitting right on Hawaii a lot of the time

3 Issue that are important to me are:

1. Environment and Energy- I think we only have one earth and we need to take care of it and that we are not taking well enough care of it so far so I think that is a big issue that needs to be dealt with. 2. Economy-The economy is slowly getting worse and worse and that needs to change so that another great depression doesn't happen and things according to money will get better, like businesses. 3.Health and Safety- People need health care and things like that to help them live and keeping the human race safe and healthy will greatly improve our country.

Link to bill I am sponsoring:

Our bill is to add more wind turbines to lakes and oceanic areas. We want to add wind turbines to lakes and oceans because big areas of water produce lots of wind. Some areas already have wind turbines there but we want to add them to places that don't have any and to adding more to already existing ones. People should support it because it would reduce pollution in the world by reducing burning of coal and other nonrenewable energy source use. Also it would provide power to businesses, homes and could eventually reduce costs on energy bills.
