Islands like Hawaii have two big problems. They have bad weather. They also have high prices for things.
Hawaii has much rain. This makes floods. Other islands worry about getting enough fuel.
Hawaii had ten days of rain. Some places got lots of water. This made floods on roads. Workers saved many people. More rain is coming.
Pacific islands also worry about fuel costs. Samoa and Tonga need fuel. They get energy from fuel they buy. These islands need fuel from other places.
Oil prices are going up. This is because of problems far away. This makes it hard for islands to get fuel.
China is handling this well. They have stored oil. They also use sun power. China has a good plan. They do not need much oil. China is ready. Other islands are not.
