Innovation, that’s the key; think out of the box can as Amory Lovins calls it start a new fire. We need a completely new system for a new tomorrow, or an innovative tomorrow.  It’s about coming up with new designs, or finding new more sustainable ways to use what we have.  Even doing something as simple as changing the material something is made out of can be effective.  We need to reinvent what we have.

Before seeing what Lovins had to say I probably would have said all of this change would cost too much for this to be a real option, but after I heard what Lovins had to say I came to realize that not only is it better cost wise, at least in the long run, but it is also a much more effective and sustainable option.

The most innovative options arising today are those of renewable energy, Not “fires” used in the past like fossil fuels, but new “fires”, those with an endless supply of energy. The concept of 24\7 was unfamiliar to me; it was not something I thought about. Apparently wind solar power is considered unreliable and coal and nuclear power are considered reliable, but as Lovins said this is a misconception.  What I’m trying to get across is that all these miss conceptions are stopping us from going forward and being innovative, being stuck in out old ways, not lighting new fires.

I see a future where we aren’t paying anything different than what we’re paying now; a world functioning only on renewable energy,  but this is only going to happen when we come to the point where nonrenewable energy has completely un out because we are the type of people who only respond to issues we are living through an can see right in front of us.
