Reinvent Fire: Change Energy Use Forever

Reinventing Fire: Bold Business Solutions for the New Energy Era offers market-based, actionable solutions integrating transportation, buildings, industry, and electricity. Built on Rocky Mountain Institute's 30 years of research and collaboration in all four sectors, Reinventing Fire maps pathways for running a 158%-bigger U.S. economy in 2050 but needing no oil, no coal, no nuclear energy, one-third less natural gas, and no new inventions. This would cost $5 trillion less than business-as-usual—in addition to the value of avoiding fossil fuels' huge but uncounted external costs.

Can you get rid of Monsanto at the same time?

No, Lobby's...

Problem is, people are afraid of change.

STOP POVERTY & THIS CORRUPT CANNIBALISTIC GOVERNMENT FROM ENSLAVING YOUR CHILDREN. THE UNBORN OWE OVER $50,000.00 IN DEBT. ALL OF THE INFORMATION I HAVE ON HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN FREE ENERGY DEVICE IS FREE. & Confirm able EXAMPLE from H2W Voice Coil # NCM24-60-1490 makes 0 to 419lbs /1257lbs peak @ 10% duty FROM ONLY 0 to 383watts /3450watts peak (2.4"stroke of PUSH & PULL force) That's the POWER of a funny car from the energy consumption of a E Bike. (The1st Compressed Air Car traveled100miles)

[Mike Peine]

The 1st Compressed car traveled100miles IN THE 1820's Water/Windmills power Compressors&store energy for years. Voice Coils & LINEAR MOTORS make great amounts of POWER from very small amounts of energy.& when fixed inbetween the head & piston tops of a fuel engine convert it to electric & self generates after start.EXAMPLE from H2W Technologies L.M.(1st.pat.1840)#BLDD-06 makes 0to200lbs/600lbs peak@10%duty of PUSH & PULL force FROM ONLY 0to4amps /12amps peak.ENJOY visit my site 4 more FREE info.

Great video! With half of all new generating capacity built being renewable, we're going to need a lot of energy storage! And as we integrate storage into our energy use WHEN we use energy will be as important as how much.

[oracle2world]

The most efficient way to store and transport energy on our earth is liquid hydrocarbons.  Just chemistry 101. Having a freebie oxidizer (21% atmospheric oxygen) is the key.

[Michael Dearborn]

I would be glad to do be a part of that side project.

[snosamie6]

Maybe that could be a new goal, a new side project? Do it, RMI!

[Michael Dearborn]

It's wonderful that RMI is measuring the feasibility of renewables, but what they really need to be putting their minds to is figuring out how to beat the corporate lobbying system while educating people to put the political pressure necessary to make a change. We already know renewable energy is feasible, but the roadblocks need to be knocked down.
