	Lovins Order
		Lovins alleged, inter alia, violations of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. et seq.
		Lovins may have against the District, and its affiliates and subsidiaries, together with their respective members, directors, officers, agents, and employees, including but not limited to, claims for compensatory damages, personal injury, emotional distress, loss of reputation, humiliation, embarrassment, costs, expenses and attorneys' fees.
		Lovins acknowledges that this Consent Order (including his release of all claims) has been reviewed in detail with him and that its language and intended effect have been explained, and that he has had the opportunity to review the Consent Order (including his release of all claims) with an attorney of his choice.

	Amory Lovins Misleads with Numbers \| EnergyBulletin.net \| Peak Oil News Clearinghouse
		Further on, Lovins strangely attacks gas turbine generators, which are actually more efficient at converting fuel to useful work than both conventional steam turbines and practical high-power fuel cells, with waste reduced to perhaps 40-45% of the input energy.
		In any case, Lovins' SUV design is claimed to achieve a fuel economy "equivalent to" 114 mpg, and with a small fuel cell requires "only one third as much hydrogen" in "off-the-shelf" components to travel 530 kilometers (in a quick switch to metric, Lovins was perhaps trying to hide the rather low 330 mile range).
		Lovins also repeatedly compares our energy intensity (energy use per dollar of GDP) with that from 30 years ago, or the improvements from 1977 to 1985 or 1978 to 1987 in a couple of cases.

	The Truth About Hydrogen: Reply to Amory Lovins
		Lovins routinely separates, in his paper, the efficiency of use of hydrogen in fuel cells from the energy losses associated with the manufacture, transportation, distribution and delivery of hydrogen.
		Lovins, on the other hand, focuses on a few peripheral issues on which the Swiss authors’ case is less convincing and on that basis, incorrectly dismisses the entire paper.
		Lovins may not be aware of recent developments in gasoline and diesel engine technology nor, it seems, is he aware of the true efficiencies achieved by fuel cells in actual test vehicles on the road.

	Salon.com Technology \| The pro-business nature boy
		Lovins, as one of the few conservationists with entree to corporate boardrooms, has become one of the movement's primary vessels of hope -- the rare messenger who won't be turned away at the door.
		Lovins is about 5-foot-8, with a slight paunch, a balding pate and a thick, dark mustache that barely moves when he talks.
		Lovins immediately joined up with environmental pioneer David Brower, longtime executive director of the Sierra Club, founder of the Earth Island Institute and, says Lovins, "the greatest conservationist of this century." (Brower died in November at the age of 86.) The match didn't initially make a whole lot of sense.

	3/5/2005 -- Lovins: Environmentalism can pay...big bucks
		Lovins has successfully worked with a variety of businesses to implement natural capitalism concepts, including Interface (Guilford is one of its companies), Shell Oil and the International Finance Corporation.
		Lovins compared that with the recent push to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, which is being promoted by the Bush administration as a way to reduce reliance on foreign oil and to reduce the threat of terrorist interruptions to the fuel supply.
		Lovins is the author of "Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution." Her most recent book, "The Natural Advantage of Nations," is due out this month.

	Enviropundit: Green Building Blog: Lovins, Distributed Grids and Efficiency (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Lovins suggests moving gradually to a lower carbon economy through the use of voluntary conservation, a distributed grid, gas cogeneration plants, hefty (although not complete) use of renewables.
		Lovins is not one of those; he endorses market solutions to environmental problems which also help companies and home owners save money.
		Lovins is not suggesting that fossil fuel plants be shut down immediately with only renewables left to pick up the slack.

	[Carfreeliving] Kunstler / Amory Lovins Debate on cars
		Lovins' intentions are good, but I stick by my assertion that his work on the Hypercar has been a waste of time and intellectual capital and has only led the public to believe that we can continue a car-dependent way of life.
		Lovins chapter "Hypercars and Neighborhoods," he devotes 24 pages to the technical discussion of designing Hypercars and slightly less than two pages on the discussion of neighborhoods -- none of the latter including any technical discussions of civic (i.e., human habitat) design.
		Lovins' Rocky Mountain Institute is located in the back country of Colorado, in a place that his 40-plus employees all have to drive to.

	Leopold Center - Energy and agriculture: Making it work - Spring 2005 Leopold Letter
		Lovins said that higher energy costs will mean an end to "business as usual" for industrialized agriculture, which typically relies on energy in the form of electricity, diesel, pesticides and fertilizers.
		Lovins said U.S. farmers reduced their energy use by 41 percent during the 1980s and 1990s, and that there are a variety of ways to further increase energy efficiency in farming operations.
		Lovins said her favorite example is a 2,500-acre farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania that produces both milk and energy.

	Amory Lovins
		Lovins believes that unless key changes are made in the U.S. auto industry soon, “Japan, the European Union, and China will eat Detroit for lunch.” Foreign auto competitors are researching lighter, more fuel-efficient cars, and American manufacturers cannot afford to be left behind, he said.
		Lovins faulted consumers and automakers alike for limiting their views on what is possible.
		To achieve this, Lovins calls for investments of $180 billion over 10 years, with $90 billion earmarked for transportation equipment and the other $90 billion allocated to build an advanced biofuel industry.

	Amory Lovins Sees The Future and It Is Hydrogen (The Global Citizen, 1999 05 04)
		Lovins points out that large quantities of hydrogen are already moved around for industrial purposes and that it is safer than gasoline.
		Lovins wants to use the hydrogen not in mini-explosions that drive an internal combustion engine, but in a nice quiet fuel cell that drives an electric motor.
		Lovins thought about the whole system and realized it would be easiest to start with stationary energy needs -- workplaces, houses -- and then expand hydrogen into the transportation system.

	bernie :: article :: Amory Lovins: Different Drummer, Right March (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Lovins shocked the world by asserting there was a “soft path” solution to the energy crisis.
		Lovins was quickly dismissed as a pie-in-the-sky physicist by the energy and utility establishment in spite of his compelling brilliance and stark lucidity.
		Lovins follows a three-word precept: “Best Buys First.” Today Lovins and his Rocky Mountain Institute have an enclopedic collection of case histories that demonstrate his thesis--- efficiency is always the best investment.

	Environmental Action: You got to Love the Lovins
		Lovins, who has briefed two U.S. Presidents and 16 other heads of state on energy policy and has long advised major energy firms and the Departments of Energy and Defense, will report his organization's dramatic new finding: a business-led roadmap for getting the U.S. entirely off oil.
		Lovins will testify that achieving energy independence and security requires three actions: making domestic energy infrastructure, notably electric and gas grids, resilient; phasing out, not expanding, vulnerable facilities and unreliable fuel sources; and ultimately eliminating reliance on oil from any source.
		Lovins will explain how these "self-inflicted security threats" can be eliminated by cheaper, faster, more abundant, and security-enhancing energy alternatives-both comprehensive efficiency and more diverse, dispersed, renewable supplies-that are already winning in the global marketplace.

	Amory Lovins: Reinventing Human Enterprise for Sustainability
		Lovins, who has been preaching the gospel of radical energy reform for over 25 years, built his luxurious 4,000 square-foot home/office in 1983, to demonstrate that a truly energy-efficient house is no more expensive to build than the traditional energy hog--and far cheaper and healthier to run.
		This article is based on a visit to RMI in August 2001, and on a speech Lovins gave to the E.F. Schumacher Society (www.smallisbeautiful.org) in Amherst, Massachusetts, October 27, 2001.
		Lovins says cars like this could be in production within five years, dominate the market within a decade, and essentially wipe out today's steel-bodied internal combustion-fired, polluting cars within 20 years.

	How to Save the World
		The technophiles, like Lovins, tend to believe that the End of Oil is wishful thinking by those opposed to the existing power structure, the market economy, and civilization's excesses in general -- a neosurvivalist, secular version of the Rapture for socialists and environmentalists wanting to reboot human endeavor in a more responsible way.
		The alarmists, like Kunstler, tend to think the technophiles have adopted the 'free' market and technology innovation as their own, man-made theology to will save us from ourselves, and are denying the terrible realities of our economic and political systems, humanity's resistance to and inability to change, and even the laws of thermodynamics.
		Lovins' model would be more persuasive if he had addressed some of Kunstler's arguments with comparable thoroughness.

	01/09/01 -- Hypercar piques the auto industry, pushed by Green guru Amory Lovins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Lovins hatched the idea for a superefficient automobile about a decade ago, and spent the next several years trying to convince auto makers that they could make money by building it.
		Lovins spent much of the mid-1990s publishing thick academic studies on the Hypercar in the hope that an auto maker would pick up the idea as a way to compete against its rivals.
		Lovins now spends most of his time and a fair portion of his modest resources from consulting fees and Hypercar funds jetting around the world, speaking to conferences and corporations, and taking every opportunity to drum up potential investors for Hypercar.

	Energy guru Amory Lovins sees a world without petroleum North County Times - North San Diego and Southwest Riverside ...
		Lovins, who emerged as one of the nation's most influential energy thinkers during the last oil crisis three decades ago, drives a hybrid that gets 64 miles per gallon and lives in a solar-powered house that is so energy efficient, he's able to grow bananas in an indoor jungle high in the Rocky Mountains.
		A new book by Lovins and his think-tank colleagues, "Winning the Oil Endgame," offers a technology-driven blueprint to wean the country off petroleum within a few decades: first, double the fuel efficiency of cars, trucks and airplanes; then replace gasoline with alternative fuels such as ethanol and hydrogen.
		And if this plan is widely adopted, Lovins calculates that the country could stop importing oil by 2040 and run without oil by 2050.
