any body remember the 1970'S Jimmy Carter Solar Panel on the white house when are we going to fucking do this... reminds me of William Churchill you can always trust the Americans to do the right thing... when they have exhausted all other options! good interview!

So America applies 100% duties on Brazillian sugar ethanol but 0 tarrifs on crude oil. No wonder the US administration (under GW Bush is out of touch)

That's TRUE! Amory Lovins is ALL about teaching that fact! We're using out shower water to flush the toilet. We have a timer that turns the water heater on for one hour a day (and we haven't noticed a difference)! All of our light bulbs are compact florescent or LED. They give off great light! We're working on turning OFF the water heater for good with SOLAR Thermal AND we are driving an electric Chevy S-10. Solar PVs are next! Keep it up America!!

Don't forget medicines! By the way, we've had synthetic oil since WWII (The Germans again)! It really works and it wouldn't be more expensive than "normal" oil if "normal" oil weren't subsidized by the US government. Then other forms of energy could make some headway and synthetics could be used for everything else! I think it's a great idea!

This is a true story. There is still a need or renewables due to the time it will take to get this process up to capacity. There are literally thousands of different projects going on right now. If we had leadership that would promote these programs instead of stacking the deck against them we'd be ahead of the game. Instead, we are loosing the game! Vote for the candidate who is focused on renewables!
