Estimates for sea level rise around Hawaii by the end of this century start at 5 feet and go as high as 12 feet.  This summer the king tides will totally submerge Waikiki beach.  It is foolish and shortsighted to think we don't need to start planning for this crisis.  We have to harden, raise and move infrastructure - roads, waste water treatment plants, runways etc... 
 This will cost billions.  The sooner we start, the less expensive it will be.  One person in this office will be charged with switching all city buildings and facilities to cheaper, renewable power.  If this person saves just a half percent of the city's annual electricity bill, s/he will have more than paid the cost of the staff.
