  • Winning the Oil Endgame. More excellent stuff from Amory Lovins and pals. You can read it free online. From the abstract:

    The route we suggest for the transition beyond oil will expand customer choice and wealth, and will be led by business for profit. [..] A $180-billion investment over the next decade will yield $130-billion annual savings by 2025; revitalize the automotive, truck, aviation, and hydrocarbon industries; [..]

    The only problem here is that the automotive, truck, aviation, and hydrocarbon industries don't want to be revitalized. That's why the profit motive hasn't worked thus far.

    But that's just me bickering.
