Can a virus and viral ideas speed the world’s journey beyond fossil fuels
Smart investments in pandemic recovery and contagious new tools for deeper, cheaper energy efficiency could speed existing capital flight from fossil fuels. This could help turn pandemic disruptions into durable climate solutions
Recalibrating climate prospects
IPCC’s 2018 Special Report is a stark and bracing reminder of climate threats. Yet literature, reportage, and public discourse reflect imbalanced risk and opportunity. Climate science often understates changes’ speed and nonlinearity, but Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) and similar studies often understate realistic mitigation options. Since ∼2010, global mitigation of fossil CO 2 —including by often-uncounted modern renewable heat comparable…
How big is the energy efficiency resource
Most economic theorists assume that energy efficiency—the biggest global provider of energy services—is a limited and dwindling resource whose price- and policy-driven adoption will inevitably deplete its potential and raise its cost. Influenced by that theoretical construct, most traditional analysts and deployers of energy efficiency see and exploit only a modest fraction of the worthwhile efficiency resource, saving less and paying more than t…
Relative deployment rates of renewable and nuclear power
Natural Capitalism
On its first publication 10 years ago, Natural Capitalism rocked the world of business with its innovative new approach - an approach that fused ecological integrity with business acumen using the radical concept of natural capitalism. This 10th-anniversary edition features a new Introduction by Amory B. Lovins and Paul Hawken which updates the story to include the successes of the last decade. It clearly sets out the path that we must now take t…

Profitable Solutions to Climate, Oil, and Proliferation
Winning the Oil Endgame
This synthesis for American business and military leaders is peer reviewed and independent. It lays out a road map for getting the U.S. completely off its dependence on oil. The authors' strategy involves the integration of four technological methods to displace oil: (1) utilizing oil twice as efficiently as it is currently used, (2) substituting biofuels for oil, (3) saved natural gas, and (4) using hydrogen as an option. The complete applicatio…
Fool's Gold in Alaska
Oil prices have fluctuated randomly for well over a century. Heedless of this fact, oil's promoters are always offering opportunities that could make money?but on the flawed assumption that high prices will prevail. Leading the field of these optimists are Alaskan politicians. Eager to keep funding their state's de facto negative income tax?oil provides 80 percent of the state's unrestricted general revenue?they have used every major rise in oil …
Natural Capitalism
Previous industrial revolutions made people 100 times more productive when low per-capita output was limiting progress in exploiting a seemingly boundless natural world. Today we face a different pattern of scarcity: abundant people and labor-saving machines, but diminishing natural capital. Natural capital refers to the earth’s natural resources and the ecological systems that provide vital life-support services to society and all living things.…
Nature's Services, Human Follies
Fueling a Competitive Economy
A MERICA'S ENERGY and economic policies remain Z^k tied to Cold War concepts of national security. For JL JL. nearly fifty years all of America's vast resources were directed toward one purpose: containing the Soviet threat of global communism. But the need for a military oriented industrial strategy fell with the Berlin Wall; long subordinated economic, energy and environmental concerns have risen to the top of the national agenda. Integrating t…

Energy Unbound
In the form of an instructive fable, two energy experts expound their trademark ''soft path'' energy philosophy, which is based on cost-effective and energy-sufficient technologies, citizen action, and a free-market economy. In the fable, Eunice Anderson, a budget-conscious housewife from Dubuque, Iowa, is appointed U.S. Secretary of Energy and sets out to apply common sense to energy problems
Brittle Power
The authors feel that America's brittle energy system is easily shattered by sabotage, technical failure, or natural disaster; further, the American public needs to understand and correct this vulnerability. Unnecessarily complex and centralized energy systems are at the root of America's energy insecurity, they note, but the proper use of proven cost-effective technologies can make major failures impossible. With practical examples, the authors …
