A Farewell to Fossil Fuels: Answering the Energy Challenge Amory B Lovins. Foreign Affairs. New York: Mar/Apr 2012. Vol. 91, Iss. 2; pg. 134, 13 pgs Abstract (Summary) Nearly 90% of the world's economy is fueled every year by digging up and burning about four cubic miles of the rotted remains of primeval swamp goo. With extraordinary skill, the world's most powerful industries have turned that oil, gas, and coal into affordable and convenient fuels and electricity that have created wealth, helped build modern civilization, and enriched the lives of billions. Yet today, the rising costs and risks of these fossil fuels are undercutting the security and prosperity they have enabled. The next big shift is to raise electricity productivity faster than the economy grows -- starting with the US' 120 million buildings. Even though US buildings are projected to provide 70% more total floorspace in 2050, they could use far less energy. The US cannot afford to keep waiting for a grid-locked Congress to act while the global clean-energy revolution passes it by.
