A few weeks ago I started a new blog focused on green energy topics. It’s called “Keeping The Lights On.” In particular I’m interested in showing how the transition to green energy is not just going to help us prevent the end of civilization (gloom and doom much?) but also be profitable into the bargain. I cover the range from zero-energy footprint buildings, to breakthroughs and advances in sustainable energy technologies that drive down the cost of doing good, to stories of real people making a difference, to my own thoughts on what it’s going to take to get from here to there.

My guiding influences are Amory Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Institute, from whom I took the phrase “barrier busting” (see the explanation here) and “integrative design“, and Ray Kurzweil, the inventor, futurist, and author of the Law of Accelerating Returns. Between them they describe a future of appropriate energy usage, based on sustainable and renewable resources, enabled by continuing technological advances obeying Moore’s Law.

Please drop by and check it out - I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
