🌈 Hawai'i Statewide Energy Flowcharts! Love 'em. 🌺

I'm a big fan of LLNL Sankey Diagrams and learned yesterday during a planning session with the State Energy Office and AES about this new page.

Play with all the buttons and settings to reveal energy flows for different sources and end uses.

Holy damn, jet fuel!!!

They only recently started collecting it.

512g CO₂eq/kWh in last three months compared to California's 158g CO₂eq/kWh.

The entire economy of Hawaii is dependent on oil.

Thanks for the link to maps.

This was the first close collaboration with the state energy department.
