About my posting yesterday on  MY LIFE , in the first month of this blog I also had a  MY LIFE .  Then on  26April2022 , dressed that first version up with some graphics.  Not much different from that of yesterday. However, I almost purposefully left out some of my life highlights, so rather than go back and add them to my posting yesterday,  here are some of them . My professional life, from first graduating, where I went into biomass engineering, to my academic career where I became a full professor of engineering and spent much of my years at the University Hawaii in the full spectrum of green energy, a satisfying honor came from the American Association of Civil Engineers, the Stephen D. Bechtel Jr. Energy award at their annual conference in 1999. Within the field of renewable energy, I was most active in ocean activities. Drafted the ocean thermal energy conversion bill that became law. Served as Secretary of the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii and Director of the Hawaii Natur

Today, for sci-tech day, I reach back to three postings on geoengineering solutions for climate warming.  Here is a quick history of this field. I was working in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1982, and global warming was not at all an issue. It took another decade for scientists to come to a conclusion that all those fossil fuel emissions are beginning to affect our climate. In the early 90's I led a national effort to include some thinking about solutions to remediate the Greenhouse Gas effect, in addition to all the necessary monitoring and modeling work that was ongoing. So the following postings provide some details of my involvement. An early one was on 23September 11, where I was serializing  SIMPLE SOLUTION ESSAYS , with a particular focus on Geoengineering of Climate Change. This particular book drew together some of my  Huffington Post  articles. The notion of geoengineering at a global scale scares most.  Their argument is, we have so screwed up our planet that to entrust
