Unforeseen Implications of 100% Renewable. The hosts for this show are Clint Churchill and Brian Barbata.
\n
\nClint and Brian introduce themselves and discuss why they're interested in climate change. Climate change is real, we are not deniers. Clint and Brian talk about their co-founding PPIH, 501 (c)(3) filing, and Purpose Statement. They explain climate system basics--greenhouse gases, water vapor, and CO2.
\n
\nThey discuss the practicality of Hawaii's policy of 100% renewable in 2045, touching on wind, solar, intermittent nature of renewables, the need for dependable electricity, potential battery storage requirements, and cost implications of 100% renewable. They also discuss renewable energy land use tradeoffs in Hawaii--especially on Oahu--and adapting to climate change in Hawaii.
\n
\nThey wrap up with due diligence now vs. what should have perhaps been done when the 100% policy was established. Is there a need for policy adjustments?
