China Leads, India Surges, America Lags Badly in the Clean Power Buildout

14 min read

JMK Research’s report on India’s fiscal 2026 renewable additions crossed my screen and forced a wider question. If India had just added 44.6 GW of solar in a single fiscal year and reached 150.26 GW of installed solar by March 31, 2026, what did the broader global league table of … [continued]

Why Molecular Solar Thermal Is Great Chemistry And Bad Energy Hype

16 min read

Every few years, a chemistry paper wanders out of the lab, passes through a university press office, gets dressed up by a science news site, and lands on social media as if humanity is one strained molecule away from solving energy storage. The latest example is Molecular Solar Thermal storage, … [continued]

Beyond Generation: The Grid Innovations Hawaiʻi Needs Next

20 min read

Naturally, just when Hawaiʻi’s decarbonization pathway starts to look complete, another chapter occurs to me. After the generation mix, the island-by-island resource story, the transport implications, and the logic of electrification, what remains is the part of the energy transition that fossil systems used to provide almost by accident. Hawaiʻi … [continued]

Turning the Plan Into Action: Next Steps for Oʻahu’s Clean Energy System

8 min read

This is the culminating article in a series exploring from the outside a decarbonization solution set and coarse roadmap for Hawaiʻi. It is a set of possible next actions that a Hawaiian agency, utility, authority, or coalition could undertake if the roadmap outlined in this series is worth exploring further. … [continued]

Oʻahu 2050: A Hard-Charging Roadmap to a Zero-Carbon Energy System

17 min read

What follows is a draft roadmap for a decarbonized O’ahu. This roadmap does not appear out of nowhere. It follows a long chain of analysis that rebuilt Oʻahu’s energy system piece by piece. Earlier articles stripped away overseas aviation fuel, international maritime bunkering, and military demand to isolate the island’s … [continued]
