Description: Tucked in the mid-Atlantic and long dependent on imported fuel, Bermuda offers a uniquely compressed case study in how small island nations navigate the shift to cleaner power. This book traces the archipelago's energy landscape from its diesel-fired grid to the promise—and limits—of wind, wave, and rooftop solar on coral-thin soils, while weighing the contested role of LNG as a bridge fuel. Along the way, it examines transport electrification, regulatory design, and the pricing pressures shaping consumer choice on just 21 square miles. The result is a clear-eyed look at the trade-offs, scenarios, and hard decisions facing one of the world's most isolated grids.
