- CleanTechnica announced the Hawaii Sustainability Expo & Electric Home Show will run April 24‑26, 2026, at the Neal S. Blaisdell Exhibition Hall in Honolulu, with tickets priced at $7.
- Bill McKibben will join CleanTechnica COO Scott Cooney on Sunday afternoon for a fishbowl‑style dialogue.
- Bill McKibben noted that about five years ago an “invisible line” was crossed when solar and wind became cheaper than coal, gas, and oil, underscoring the economic shift toward clean energy.
- Pro Day on Friday, April 24 will host a Clean Energy Career Fair for students from Hawaii high schools, community colleges, UH, and HPU, and provide training for contractors, electricians, plumbers, rebate professionals, realtors, and permitting experts.
- Trade Show & Expo on Saturday‑Sunday will feature EV test drives, e‑bike and e‑skateboard rides, induction‑cookstove demos, an all‑electric BBQ powered by V2X vehicle‑to‑grill technology, and a solar‑powered bounce house for children.
- Gwen Yamamoto Lau (Executive Director of the Hawaii Green Infrastructure Authority) will speak on financing the clean‑energy transition.
- Ed Sniffen (Director of the Hawaii Department of Transportation) will outline the state fleet’s greenhouse‑gas‑reduction plan.
Why it matters: The $7‑ticket expo removes price barriers, letting Honolulu families and students experience affordable clean‑energy tech and career pathways, while state officials and industry leaders discuss financing and fleet‑wide emission cuts, accelerating Hawaii’s transition to solar and wind power and regional grid integration.
