**Affirmed position.** Exploring blockchain and new ways forward in the energy sector: A case study in Japan presents the following source proposition: Blockchain technology is suggested as part of the next step in this transition. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain-enabled sharing services are unlikely to be accepted quickly or without resistance, because incumbents challenged by new ways of delivering a service or product will resist, as the existing legal disputes over sharing platforms demonstrate. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
