Moving Beyond Hydrogen Fairytales. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Matt Moran.
On the topic of hydrogen, there is a great deal of misinformation being circulated. Liquid hydrogen systems in particular are sometimes characterized as being a far-off vision that will require many years to deploy. The truth is there are no true technology gaps preventing the widespread application of hydrogen systems. The answer to many questions about hydrogen can be summed up as 'it has already been done'.
Unfortunately, inaccuracies have even made their way into key reports from authoritative government and international sources. These publications frequently contain errors and omissions, especially on the topic of liquid hydrogen. It is critically important to resolve this issue since public policy, regulations, funding priorities, and private sector investments are heavily influenced by these types of publications.

Interview with Barry Solomon, Co-author. The host for this show is Mihaela Stoops. The guest is Barry Solomon.
Our language evolves with us and with the complexity of our life. The 'Dictionary of Ecological Economics' thoroughly explains over 1100 terms for the new millennium. We briefly discuss what ecological economics means and its difference with conventional economics. We discuss where ecology and economics meet and how it applies to Hawai'i. Although the dictionary was edited by Brent M Haddad and Barry Solomon, numerous distinguished scholars contributed to writing the definitions. We review what type of research one has to do to be able to compile a dictionary, particularly in a new area of expertise. Last, but not least, we question how artificial intelligence will impact the process of generating new terms and their definitions.

A Vacancy Tax Would Not Fix the Problem. The host for this show is Keli'i Akina. The guest is Jensen Ahokovi.
Some state and county lawmakers in Hawai'i have proposed taxing so-called empty homes as a way to address Hawaii’s housing crisis.
However, a new study from the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii found no meaningful relationship between home vacancy rates and high home prices — in Hawai'i or anywhere else in the U.S. — which means that the 'empty homes' theory is just another time-wasting distraction from addressing the real cause of Hawaii’s housing shortage, which is too many regulations that hinder new homebuilding.
The Institute’s new policy brief is titled The ‘empty homes’ theory of Hawaii’s housing crisis,' and was written by Institute staffers Jensen Ahokovi and Mark Coleman.
On today’s episode of 'Hawaii Together,' host Keli'i Akina speaks with Ahokovi about the report — and why an empty homes tax would be unlikely to lower Hawai'i home prices or increase housing supply.
