About Me



Lower your electric bill with Big Heater brand
Catz and Dogz. Grab a pair today.


I am a fan of Rocky Mountain Institute in Snowmass, Colorado. RMI is a "think and do tank" that uses whole-systems thinking to advance profitable innovations for energy and resource efficiency. Learn how to participate in RMI's work and check out RMI client success stories at RMIspace .

There are many books about the oil crisis. RMI wrote the one about how to solve it: Winning the Oil Endgame , a 2004 study co-funded by the Pentagon, on how to get America to kick its oil habit by 2040. Without relying on partisan politics or legislative mandates, Winning the Oil Endgame calls for breakthrough solutions, led by business at a profit, that will make America not only energy independent, but more secure and more prosperous.

My Interests

Photography, hiking, camping, canoeing, reading, films, cooking, blogging, cat and dog wrangling. And inviting you to help me kick RMIspace up a notch, with your ideas and participation.

I'd like to meet:

People who are passionate about making the world a better place. People who are interested in exploring practical, profitable solutions to the world's most pressing problems.
People who like soul music, blues, gospel, southern rock, surf guitar, or the sounds of Motown, Muscle Shoals, or Stax Records. Here, take a listen...

Movies:

An Inconvenient Truth , Al Gore's Academy Award-winning documentary film on climate change, and how human activity contributes to the problem.

Television:


RMI co-founder Amory Lovins on The Charlie Rose Show ;

NOVA: Car of the Future , co-hosted by Tom and Ray Magliozzi, better known as Click and Clack, the Tappit Brothers, from NPR's Car Talk.
