THE VERY REV. ALAN JONES, Dean of Grace Cathedral.

Amory Lovins and Hunter Lovins, renowned environmentalists and directors of the Rocky Mountain Institute, discuss practical ecology with Alan Jones. "Capitalism" as we know it is in fact an aberration of the Industrial Revolution, and what is now most valuable is what the economy--in other words, we--value least. Big business is not entirely to blame: it is the consumers who support bad business practices. Big business is actually the only entity with the resources and the organization to redirect today's unfriendly trends. The Lovinses discuss their work on energy efficiency, which culminated in their famous "hypercar," an unusually efficient and cheap motor vehicle.
