Writers on the Range: Energy guru says efficiency can bridge the gap

Lovins insists that greater efficiency and reliance on renewables are still the answer to the looming energy gap.

Lovins insists that greater efficiency and reliance on renewables are still the answer to the looming energy gap.

An energy gap might appear imminent, but this week, publisher Dave Marston challenges that perspective in conversation with Amory Lovins, the 76-year-old co-founder of RMI. Renowned for his work on energy efficiency since the 1970s, Lovins emphasizes that improving efficiency can cut energy use by 50% to 80%. Changes in building structures, demand-response strategies, and more effective use of renewables, Lovins argues, could help close the gap.
