Energy Guru Amory Lovins' 50-Year Plan for Energy [Video]

In a recent intimate talk filmed at TED's offices, energy theorist Amory Lovins discusses a 50-year energy plan that can eliminate America's addiction to oil and fossil fuels as well as cut natural gas consumption by one-third by 2050.  The system would shift toward renewables and more efficient use of energy.

Lovins estimates this plan will cost $5 trillion less than current costs, and could support a 158% larger economy.  Even more, this transition will require no new inventions, no new acts from congress, and no new subsidies.  How is this possible?
