STEVENS POINT — Randy Udall gave a presentation on energy consumption on the local University of Wisconsin campus here during Earth Week activities. It was billed as an upbeat look at the future, but the scenario he described was overwhelmingly depressing.
Were it not for the fact that about 150 college students showed up in an auditorium on a sunny spring day, the whole hour might have been too much darkness. Udall, a Coloradan and son of former U.S. Rep. Morris Udall, has given his life to the study of energy, which he believes is the real world currency.
