Speculation: Environmentalism and Live Acoustic Music Have Common Demographics

Just a short post to say that I’m attending the 25th Annual Live Oak Music Festival this weekend.  Incredible people, and, of course, music that is just amazing.  Robert Earl Keen particularly rocked the place last night, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every single act.  When my friend and I wandered off to our tent at about 4:00 this morning (something I don’t think I’ve done since college) there were people still up, softly playing guitars, violins, mandolins, and singing away.

Could such a story have any possible relevance to renewable energy? Well, if I could be permitted to make a stretch, I would comment on the demographics.  Based on my observations and numerous discussions, I don’t know where you’d have to go to find a larger percentage of people who view themselves and their fellows as citizens of the world, and recognize our duty to behave thoughtfully with respect to one another and our environment.
