I had some interactions with Lovins in the past. His talk makes sense. His actions are aimed at tomorrow. Sometime. He is everyone's favorite nerd. He is very smart but really no threat to the established ways.

You can find out all about Amory Lovins and his work by going to the website of the Rocky Mountain Institute --> http://www.rmi.org/ There, you can find a discussion of a gas/electric hybrid vehicle: http://www.rmi.org/sitepages/pid386.php Also much stuff on energy options (full of engineering specs which should make Keith salivate). In a separate post I will send an earlier version of the write-up on the bybrid car ---> Amory B. Lovins & L. Hunter Lovins, "Reinventing the Wheels," The Atlantic Monthly (January 1995). (Available now only for a fee at the Atlantic website.) Arthur - you seem quite fed up with Lovins. I would have thought he has been a major force opposing and demolishing the self-serving plans of big government and big business - *and* seeing the political alternatives involved in making choices around energy & technology policy: totalitarian vs. democratic technics. The Atlantic Monthly piece I'm sending seems to me to be evidence that Lovins is not quite as you describe him. But then! You may well have had more immediate experiences (and, perhaps, disappointments). best wishes, Stephen Straker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Vancouver, B.C. [Outgoing mail scanned by Norton AntiVirus] Oh!
