Amory Lovins: The Future of U.S. Energy
Amory Lovins: The Future of U.S. Energy -- The speaker is Amory Lovins, cofounder and CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute. Is it possible for American industry to adapt to new oil-free technologies to boost profits and competitiveness? In his book, "Winning the Oil Endgame," co-author Amory Lovins has outlined a strategy for American business and military leaders to shift the United States functionally and profitably away from oil by 2050. Lovins argues that by 2015, the United States can save more oil than it receives from the Persian Gulf; by 2025, use less oil than in the 1970's; by 2040, import no oil; and by 2050, use no oil at all. He believes American business can lead the nation and the world into the post-petroleum-era, a vibrant economy and lasting security. Described by Newsweek magazine as "one of the Western world's most influential energy thinkers", Amory Lovins is cofounder and CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute. A consultant and experimental physicist educated at Harvard and Oxford, he has advised the energy and other industries for over 30 years, as well as the U.S. Departments of Energy and Defense.

It's Your World (formerly World Affairs Council)
The first World Affairs Council broadcast aired in October 1947. Back then, it was called "World Affairs are Your Affairs." Guests on the show included Gen. Dwight Eisenhower (July '49) and Vice President Alben Barkeley (October '49). The show ran continuously for 23 years. Today's World Affairs Council broadcast, called "It's Your World," brings some of the brightest minds to the air. It's Your World captures leading voices in politics, business, academia, media and art in candid discussions on issues concerning the world today.
