Climate leaders should work with oil companies to put a price on carbon
The Guardian L. Hunter Lovins September 2015 As Pope Francis visits the US, and the UN Summit on Sustainable Development and Climate Week kick off in New York City this week, government leaders, businesses, activists and global citizens will be discussing new ideas to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Here’s one: take up the European oil industry on their surprising, and so far largely ignored, offer to pay for the carbon their products create. In June, six large European oil companies – BP, Shell, Statoil, Total, BG and Eni –called for an international price on carbon. Citing...

The Triumph of Solar in the Energy Race
Unreasonable L Hunter Lovins August 2015 We stand on the cusp of the biggest transformation of our lives. Humanity is in a horse race against catastrophe. The bad news is all around us from loss of species to global warming, social fragmentation, and growing inequality. The good news is that we’re in the race. And we might just be winning. The speed with which renewable energy, especially solar, is growing means we can solve the climate crisis, create jobs, reinvigorate manufacturing and buy the time needed to do the more fundamental work of implementing the Regenerative Economy – an economy...
Project Spotlight: Lyons, CO
Sustainable Recovery (by Toby Russell) It’s been a long time in the making. Way back in August of 2013 Natural Capitalism Solutions won the contract to support the creation of the Lyons Environmental Sustainability Action Plan. The vision of the plan was to create a document that would help guide Lyons on a path toward a sustainable future. A future that harnesses the creativity of the dynamic population minimizes their impact on the environment, and spurs innovation. Just after the project started, a devastating flood tore though Lyons and changed everything. It destroyed and damaged twenty percent of the...
Hunter’s Corner: Traveling The Globe To Create a Movement That Matters
Spring 2015 Where did winter go? My friends in the Northeast are pleased to see it move off, but for me it’s been a blur. My main priority has been to push forward the creation of a narrative for an economy in service to life—one that works for 100% of humanity, as Bucky Fuller put it. This is something I cannot do alone, so I have been pulling together a coalition of leaders from across the globe. After pitching the idea at the Club of Rome, I was asked to serve on their Executive Committee and help make it...
The Veil of Energy Poverty
Unreasonable Institute L. Hunter Lovins January, 2015 It’s flattering to be asked to be a poster child for a major international campaign. The language was veiled but the implication clear: Would I help a big company undertake a campaign to end energy poverty? The client? Peabody Coal, the largest private-sector coal company in the world. I told the caller that I wanted nothing to do with his client or his campaign. The logic didn’t work. Yes, energy poverty is real, and no, coal is not an answer to it. I’ve been in the Central Highlands of Afghanistan. When night falls in December,...
