Beyond Oʻahu: How The Other Hawaiian Islands Will Decarbonize
Oʻahu was the test case, but it was never the whole question. The real question for Hawaiʻi was always whether the same logic that makes decarbonization viable on the most populous island would also hold across the rest of the inhabited archipelago. If Oʻahu could get to a clean, resilient, … [continued]

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

Winning the Energy Transition on Oʻahu: It’s Not About Technology
The clean energy future for Oʻahu is no longer blocked by missing technology. The architecture is already visible. Once overseas aviation fuel, international bunkering, and military energy use are taken out of the frame, and once transportation, buildings, and industry are electrified, the civilian Oʻahu system settles into roughly 6,000 … [continued]
