On the op-ed page of the  Honolulu Advertiser  was an article by Heather Reams and Rebecca Lorenzen entitled:   Hydrogen is key to climate battle, but we must get it right . Heather Reams is president of  Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES),  a right-of-center non-profit based in Washington, D.C., and has been doing so since 2016. CRES advocates for a clean energy policy in the U.S. Was founded in 2013 by James Dozier to engage Republican lawmakers in the conversation about clean energy, and promote subsequent energy policy as a nonpartisan issue.

Drafted the ocean thermal energy conversion bill that became law. Served as Secretary of the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii and...

I yesterday shared some depressing news showing a pathway for Donald Trump to regain the presidency.  Today, Trump revealed that he had on Sunday received an official letter from Jack Smith informing him he is a target of a grand jury probe into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.  The whole salami, from the January 6 Senate attack to influencing seven states to coerce extra votes after the election.  The Department of Justice has declined to comment.   But all that omens poorly for The Donald, as this latest beginning could lead to his ultimate end.  Be prepared, though, for a roller coaster political ride through next year.  Mind you,  even if Trump is convicted and incarcerated, he can still run for the presidency , and if some way can be found ( meaning Trump money of a billion dollars ) for someone like  Democratic Senator Joe Manchin to run as a third-party candidate , Trump could well win and theoretically  pardon himself o...
