This morning, I came down with a case of Kaupuni-itis.
As I learned from an event to dedicate a Department of Hawaiian Home Lands project in Oahu’s Wai‘anae Valley, the main symptom is an unexpected twinge of hope for human habitation of Earth. The emotion was in full bloom among many impassioned speakers in the sun-washed ceremony.

As a boy, I may have imagined that in Thomas Edison’s day, some storybook lightning marked his technological breakthroughs. Now 50, I figure that a raw drizzle on an ordinary weekday morning was the more likely response. Maybe a morning just like today’s in Edison, N.J., the namesake of the late great inventor, whose 1,093 patents included ideas for electrical lighting and generation.
Then as now, most people would be sure to grasp the potential impact of Edison’s perseverance, foresight and courage only in hindsight.
But as someone who keeps watch for signs that solar energy’s inroads are swelling into avenues, I was glad to join a celebration of bold renewable-energy progress that has unfolded in an unlikely corner of Edison.
