Kauai Moving to Solar Power–in One Heck of a Hurry

Whenever I visit Kauai to see my mom, brother and sister-in-law, which happens a couple of times a year, I’m always impressed with this solar array, which is quite visible from the main road that encircles most of the island. Yet I had no idea that there are times when it generates 100% of the electrical power demanded by the 100,000 residents and tourists. To know that everything that runs on electricity is doing its thing without consuming a single molecule of fossil fuels is quite heart warming.

The Kauai Island Utility Cooperative is moving  towards a goal of 100% renewables by 2045, and clearly it is well on its way.  Kudos.
