Hawaii is dependent on imported oil for about 92% of its energy needs. In 1979, the state paid over $1 billion to import petroleum. The authors describe how the state has vigorously pursued the goal of increased energy self-sufficiency. During the last ten years, Hawaii has attempted to diversify its energy sources through the development of a number of indigenous energy resources. These are discussed including solar, wind, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), biomass fuels, and geothermal development.
