Considering their location and the rate at which technology expands, I think a place like Hawaii could become 100% renewable eventually. I also think that a free market would be able to bring that reality with no government mandates.

.....but the market in Hawaii is not nearly big enough by itself to move the whole global automotive industry. It will really take more than just Hawaii." And there it is. In order for a few liberals in Shangri La to live out their wet dreams, the entirety of the United States should sacrifice.
This means they'll want regulation to force automakers to build a car they 'like' that has some modicum of efficiency they deem "renewable." Of course a massive subsidy and influx of tax dollars will be needed to realize it all. Give Hawaii back to whoever had it before.

So instead of a modern/efficient gas or oil-fired plant with 2 acre footprint - they’ll spend 20X more, to cover 2000 acres of beautiful mountain top or ocean with windmills, to get 20% of the energy, with far less reliability.
Leftists are evil.

and we currently dont have a vision for what that future looks like, said Jeff Mikulina Well, Jeff, I'll tell ya - in 2045 H1 will look just like it does now - full of combustion-engined vehicles moving residents, tourists and delivering your Kahlua.
Aloha!

Hawaii wants to go back to the good old days of relying on sailing ships for supplies?
They really will feel the isolation of being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean if they get their wish.

Hawaii has two oil refineries, I think.
Will they go dark ?

So Hawaii will return to bicycles, walking and land sailing for transportation....
Good luck with that.

Free energy is everywhere so why use dirty old petroleum, coal and wood?

Hydrocarbon based energy is completely renewable. The hydrocarbon is nature's battery. It's how nature stores energy from the sun.
Liberals won, we are a nation and world of dumb$$s. Cultic "science" has completely destroyed real science.

Very interesting stance to take for a state that relies exclusively on ship-delivered fuel. Do those idiots think that tankers are sail-driven?
