RMI Introduces Oil Map Webtool
RMI's MOVE team has recently developed this dynamic, interactive map in partnership with Google. The map shows how much oil the U.S. has imported, from where, and how much we have spent every month since 1973.
Use of the tool begs the question: How can we import less? In 2004, Rocky Mountain Institute's Chief Scientist, Chairman and Co-founder Amory Lovins and a team of RMI collaborators accomplished a highly complex and innovative task -- the drafting of a roadmap for the United States to get completely off oil by 2050, led by business for profit. The result was a thoroughly researched, highly analytical, yet practical book called Winning the Oil Endgame (WTOE). The book is available for free PDF download.
