The Koan of Energy

Here’s the thing about alternative energy: alternative energy produces very little actual energy.

Forget the examples and the justification, it is true.

So that, if we just reduce our energy usage to where we could get by on alternative energy sources, then we have plenty of energy from traditional sources.

REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE.

And don’t forget, RE-CREATE.
