Energy Transition Crisis
The Energy Transition Crisis is a fascinating 8-part docuseries on the energy transition and the needed strategies to enable a managed and just transition away from fossil fuels.
If the energy transition is done right, we will not only mitigate global warming and climate change, but we will avoid an egregious global economic crisis.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enable an economic, social, and environmental revival in Hawaii through a just transition to sustainable, 100% locally-sourced renewable energy and the creation of a thriving clean hydrogen economy.
This will allow us to be energy independent and resilient, create jobs and new economic opportunities, and contribute meaningfully to climate action.
We enable this through an inclusive and equitable approach that balances community, environmental, and economic concerns.

SEH hosts a regular Friday Pau Hana, a casual gathering of SEH and local leaders. This is generally an informal discussion of matters related to energy, transportation, environment, and sustainability. We occasionally have special sessions where an expert shares their insights and knowledge. For more information on how to join, visit our Pau Hana Fridays page.
