If you’re interested in big, deep energy questions, you might want to make the trek to Plymouth on Tuesday morning. Plymouth State is hosting a free talk by Amory Lovins, co-founder of the think-thank Rocky Mountain Institute and a prominent energy advocate - he supports the “soft energy path,” which emphasizes efficiency and renewables slowly replace fossil fuels.
