Description:
At RMI's RMI25 Gala event, Tom Friedman and Amory Lovins sat down for a casual discussion (in front of nearly 1,000 on-lookers) title "The Next 25 Years".
During the discussion Amory said one of the problems is that we are fatalists and that we need to build the world we want, not accept the inevitable. The problems we now face are the result of "billions of individual choices." "Whenever we chose to use energy in a particular way that shows up as part of as huge aggregate of energy demand, enormous carbon emissions," Amory said. "Well, it only takes a lot of little decisions, smarter decisions, of the same kind, better informed, to turn that right around."
