Last Wednesday, Januar>- 23,
a small audience of around 50
had the pleasure to hear the wit
and wisdom of Sam Love, a
lecturer in energy alternatives.
Love, whose show featured
films, slides, and discussion
intriqued the audience with a
combined pessimistic and opti
mistic view of the future. His
view was pessimistic because of
his realization that Americans
could not continue to waste
energy has they do today.
However, this was combined
with a knowledge that eventual
ly our nation would realize the
need to conserve.
During his lecture Love
demonstrated not only the waste
of which our nation is guilty, but
also the inability of any other
energy source to overcome our
dependence on foreign oil in the
near future.
Instead. Love accentuated the
need for individuals to do what
ever they can to cut down on
energy use. In a later interview.
Love pointed out that 40 to 50%
of our energy use txiuld be cut
by such measures as insulation,
storm windows, etc.
Concerning nuclear p<iwer.
Love stated that he has sought a
moratorium since 1972. In all of
his research since that time, he
has decided that that morator
ium becomes more imperative
every day.
Again, on the pessimistic
side, however. Love feels that it
will take at least one more
nuclear disaster before the pub
lic accepts that imperative.
