  • Easing Housing Barriers on the Big Island (Hawaii Together)

    Cut Red Tape for Permitting and Zoning.  The host for this show is Joe Kent.  The guest is Zendo Kern.  


    Hawaii County has the most housing regulations of any county in the nation, and a frustratingly huge backlog of building permits to prove it. Host Keli‘i Akina talks with Zendo Kern, the county’s planning director, about the problems the county has been having with its computerized Electronic Processing and Information Center — known as the EPIC system — which was supposed to help clear the backlog. In addition, Akina and Kern talk about ways to streamline the county’s zoning and approval processes so homebuilders can get on with the business of providing much-needed housing for Hawaii island residents.

  • Revisiting Transitional Justice (Transitional Justice)

    Justice Beyond Symbolism.  The host for this show is Jay Fidell.  The guest is Danuta Palarczyk.  


    Transitional justice denotes holistic approaches to justice, encompassing both judicial and non-judicial solutions, that aid society in its path to recovery from mass atrocities. The field is shaped by universally acknowledged legal norms derived from human rights law, humanitarian law, and international criminal law. Through the designation of specifically tailored measures, accounting for the legal, political, social, cultural, and economic context(s) of violence, those initiatives attempt to provide the most appropriate approaches to justice.

    ThinkTech Transitional Justice is coordinated together with Project Expedite Justice.

  • DERs and Peer-to-Peer Energy Marketing (Perspectives on Energy)

    Energy Trading at the Consumer Level.  The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier.  


    As rooftop solar, electric vehicles and other forms of energy generation and storage become widely available and affordable, more residential consumers of electricity will become 'prosumers.'  This means they will have the capability of producing energy beyond their needs, storing it, or engaging in a new form of commerce - Peer-to-peer energy trading.  If managed correctly and in partnership with regulators and utilities, this could be a boon for all parties involved, providing low cost, reliable, clean energy.  This is not without its pitfalls, and reliability and cybersecurity will be a major concern as this technology and socio economic shift races ahead of the regulators.
