Talking Renewable Energy at the Huntington Library

I’m down in Los Angeles for a series of meetings tomorrow, one of which I’ll conduct at the Huntington Library, where, for the princely sum of a $120 per year membership, I get unlimited visits during which I can bring a guest for free.  As I’ve learned through experience, it’s a terrific place to discuss the business of renewable energy – far better than a cookie-cutter Starbucks or some sterile office building.

While we’re strolling through the building that houses the European art, I routinely point out this wonderful portrait of James Watt. If this is a true representation of his personality, it’s easy to see why people naturally took him and his steam engine so seriously.
