Good lecture on alternative energy. Talks about the possibility of 200 mpg cars and smart grids powered by renewable energy. He lives in a house the uses almost no energy at a high elevation in Colorado. First 20 minutes on cars. It is long and a bit dry, but it's has some good news into so easier to watch.

Amory B. Lovins, a consultant physicist and innovator in energy and its links with resources, security, development, and environment, has advised the energy and other industries for four decades as well as the U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense. His work in 50+ countries has been recognized by the "Alternative Nobel," Blue Planet, Volvo, Zayed, Onassis, Nissan, Shingo, and Mitchell Prizes, MacArthur and Ashoka Fellowships, the Benjamin Franklin and Happold Medals, 12 honorary doctorates, and the Heinz, Lindbergh, Time Hero for the Planet, National Design, and World Technology Awards.
