Remember Hawaiʻi’s landmark legal settlement with a group of teenagers who alleged that the state violated their right to a clean, healthful environment?

They’re now pushing back against the state over a major element of its plan to eliminate carbon emissions in the next 20 years, which was part of the agreement. Now, these young people are taking aim at the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation’s plan for interisland flights.

The state wants to use the aviation equivalent of biodiesel for island hoppers. Activists say Hawaiʻi isn’t going far enough. Are zero-emission planes even practical?
