C-Span Energy Efficiency and Alternative Sources

[Sven77]

I watched this C-Span show this morning and taped it. It was on again later on C-Span 2. The show was about peak oil, when it will happen and what we can do about it. I was most impressed with John Spears (sustainable design group president). He showed a few designs of zero-energy homes. He also mentions fossil fuels will run out. That includes oil, coal, nuclear, etc. We need to make changes today, to enable a soft landing.
