Of Coconuts, the Sun, and Small Isolated Islands

“For a few years, I managed a combination of businesses on a very remote 100 hectare (250 acre) South Pacific island. I know the problems of supplying fuel in remote islands in the most intimate and personal way, because I was the person who had to arrange the fuel supply, the guy who took the heat when it ran short. I have also looked very, very closely at the economics of coconut oil as an energy source.  As a result, I was both glad and sad to see that the island nation of Tokelau was switching their entire energy system to solar power plus coconut oil … because Tokelau is definitely in the middle of nowhere.”
