CleanTechnica produced the first ever Electric Home Show at the Blaisdell Expo Hall in Honolulu, HI, in April this year. It was…fun AF. As sustainability truly is.
There were about 75 eco-friendly vendors ranging from EV / hybrid repair shops to ebike vendors to farm-to-table restaurants to solar to battery to whole house fan to…. you name it. A green home show, through and through. There were 12 vehicles on display in the EV showcase, 7 more to test drive, lots of tech on demonstration, including a Bluetti powered bounce house and a portable battery-to-induction cooking demo. In all, about 1200 people came, 10 talks were given (including the legendary Bill McKibben giving a keynote), thousands of connections made, clean energy advanced, and truth was told. The best way to dispel myths about clean energy that are put forth by special interest groups is to let people touch, see, and experience clean technologies for themselves, and this was a gigantic demonstration of all the good things that can help shift Hawaii, and the world, away from expensive dirty fuels, and into a clean, affordable, and resilient future.
