Christopher Flavin and Seth Dunn

Flavin and Dunn talks about the transitional use of coal/oil/natural gases to renewable energy of solar/wind/water energy.  They think that this transition would be similar to the return of our roots to our ancestors, the Homo sapiens as they were the ones whom solely relied on renewable energy sources.  They think that the societies should look at energy as something valuable rather than something that we can buy and use without thinking of about the consiquences of the earth's well-being.  This is their idea of "investing in a livable planet."
