Amory Lovins on the oil endgame
I've seen this video before, and maybe you have too, since it was first recorded in 2005. But it's worth watching again ... possibly twice.
Amory's vision and optimism continues to be one of my driving forces, and it's great to see him on top of his (ultra nerdy) game in this video at the 2005 TED conference. The good news is that many of his predictions are coming true. The bad news is that many of his other predictions are also coming true. He states in the video how ridiculous the government's projected oil cost for 2025 was.
Can you guess ... come on, guess. What did our government say the per barrel price of oil (currently $148) would be in 2025. That's right ... $26 per barrel. Ohhhh lord.
But if you want a fresh shot of optimism, this is a great way to spend 20 minutes.
