Description:
At RMI’s RMI25 Gala, Amory Lovins gave a speech titled “Imagine a World…”. Below is an excerpt from his speech.

“…Imagine a world, a few short generations hence, where spacious, peppy, ultra safe, 120- to 200-mpg cars whisper through revitalized cities ad towns, convivial suburbs, and fertile, prosperous countryside, burning no oil and emitting pure drinking water — or nothing; where sprawl is no longer mandated or subsidized, so stronger families eat better food on front porches and more kids play in thriving neighborhoods; where new buildings and plugged-in parked cars produce enough surplus energy to power the now-efficient old buildings; and where buildings make people healthier, happier, and more productive, creating delight when entered, serenity when occupied, and regret when departed…”
