This series is not a side project from AI research. I'm writing it to pay back Hokkaido. Introduction: From Iwamizawa In the 1990s, I watched the coal industry die in Iwamizawa. The mines closed. The town went quiet. What would replace coal as Hokkaido's energy? I've been carrying that question ever since. This series is one answer. Hokkaido's renewable energy potential is the best in Japan. #1 nationally in solar. #1 nationally in wind. But that electricity is being wasted — curtailed because the grid can't absorb it. Meanwhile, EV adoption is dead last in Japan. 4.3 vehicles per 10,000 people. Surplus electricity and cars that could be running on it — separated by a wall called policy. This series breaks that wall. With physics and numbers. 0. The Hokkaido EV Special Zone — Five Arrows Overv
