My name is Haley Stafford, and I am reaching out to you in the context of an Internet publication related to Stanford University’s course, "PH240: Introduction to the Physics of Energy", taught by Professor Robert B. Laughlin. I have written a report to be published online for the course on the correlation between the price of U.S. crude oil and Hawaii's electricity prices, and I would like to include two images from "Hawaii’s Energy Facts and Figures 2020." However, I am committed to respecting copyright regulations and want to ensure that I have the proper permissions to use these graphs (attached below) in my report. I kindly ask for your approval to use these images in my Internet publication and am more than willing to comply with any conditions or requirements you may have for their use. If you could provide a written confirmation or release, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Haley Stafford
