The Future of Energy in 2 Minutes

How Smart (and Fast) Are You?
Nathanael Greene, Director of Renewable Energy Policy at the NRDC

recently chose the winner of the Future of Energy in Two Minutes or Less user-generated video contest. The winner is "Solar Energy is H.O.T."

 

I love the concrete and clear presentation. I thought it did a good job of laying out the different ways we can use solar energy. Not surprisingly, as someone who spends his time advocating for renewable energy, I’m a big fan of solar power in all forms and believe that it will play an ever larger role in our energy mix. Lili’s Law was a close runner-up. In addition to being inspiring, Lili is absolutely right that we need to stop wasting energy, and turning off lights is a simple and effective first step. Ultimately, we need to use more efficient lightbulbs (and other appliances), to turn them off when we’re not using them, and to power them with renewable energy such as solar when they are on.
