OAHU, Hawaii -- One key push in the governor's plan will come in creating new jobs in green industries. It will be linked with a way to try and wean the state off fossil fuels.

At Kahe power plant on Oahu energy is generated when the turbines, switches and stream all work to produce the electricity to power the island.

The growing demand from homes and businesses is a beast to feed, but the governor's plan to turn away from fossil fuels includes getting more people to turn to alternative energy and getting more homeowners to turn to solar power is key.

The governor's plan involves floating bonds so homeowners who don't have to have the cash to install solar systems can later pay the bill through their property taxes. One solar company is hailing the news.

"For the residential market, it's what we need. When we need it we are really excited about it," said Mark Duda, with Revolusun.

Duda said the financial incentive has the potential to grow his customer base and double his workforce.

"We need to design people to design those things and people to do the permitting and to install them as well the solar industry is where the rubber meets the road in terms of job creation in Hawaii right now," Duda said.

The governor's clean energy emphasis is modeled after similar programs now in place in 15 other states.

Last year, close to 10,000 homeowners in Hawaii went with solar water heaters or photo voltaic systems and the new incentives could spur a new wave.

"The part of me that really worries about the residential market was jumping for joy. We have a couple of big problems to solve out in this industry and financing on the residential side is one of them and this nicely targets one of our issues," Duda said.

Environmentalists are hailing the move away from oil dependency.

"The fossil fuel ban, we think, is important as a back stop so we don't keep making those old mistakes," said Jeff Mikulina.

The goal is 70 percent clean energy by 2030 and that is just 20 years away.
