Who was it that left an impression on you and potentially influenced the way you work? What did they do, how did they work, what habits did they have to earn that distinction? Don'…

He addresses that in the book as well. His goal is to give rough estimates and a framework to reason about energy sources, not provide conclusions.

I recently started reading "Sustainable Energy Without The Hot Air"[1], which is available as a free book, and it's been a wonderful introduction to reasoning about alternative ene…
