Customer Reviews

Our Energy Needs simplified

The Lovins have did a fantastic job of breaking down our energy needs into 3 categories: heating, mobile and electrical. Anytime you try and convert one type to another, you are going to lose a significant amount of energy in the conversion. While the book is getting long in the tooth (1980's) the principles are still the same in 2010's. We still have so much "low hanging fruit to pick" before we need to take on the grandiose schemes like adding more nuclear powered plants. Many houses are still not even close to energy efficient. If a house on the Oregon coast can be built as a net-zero energy house, then they can be built almost anywhere, but it is still, one house here, one house there. Apartments and rental properties tend to be the last on anyone's list to improve, but one of the worst sink holes for energy, for people who can least afford it.
