"An energy revolution without fanfare-presented so clearly you wonder why you didn't know it already."
David Brower, Friends of the Earth

"We're in the position of somebody that can't keep the bathtub full because the water keeps running out. Before we buy a bigger water heater, we ought to get a plug." Amory Lovins
Hunter and Amory Lovins are the foremost proponents of an energy policy that concentrates on efficiency and the appropriate use of renewable energy sources such as the sun, wind, and water. The Lovinses call this the "soft path" and argue for its practicality as opposed to the "hard path" which favors increased energy production and the use of coal and nuclear power.
With a 33-page Study Guide by the Lovins' Rocky Mountain Institute.
The DVD version of this program is recorded on DVD-R which is not compatible with some older DVD players. See the new DVD page for more details.
