Highlights from Amory Lovins lecture

Monday, April 27, 2009

Last week, our campus was fortunate to host Amory Lovins, a noted critical thinker on energy issues. Amory is chairman and chief scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), a non-profit think tank in Colorado, that works on reducing America’s energy and oil consumption. He delivered an extremely fascinating lecture to a large group of faculty, staff and students in the library on Thursday night. Suhail Barot, Graduate Student and Chair of the Student Sustainability Committee wrote a short essay sharing the highlights from the presentation. The essay can be downloaded here.
