Oil. The world really works because of oil.

Good for its candor about serious issues with the challenge of decarbonization. Bad for its “old man yells at cloud” energy. Some of the examples feel pretty cherry-picked and his conclusions not reasonable (“Y2K never happened!” Uhhh yeah dude cause we spent years making sure it wouldn't). Overall a decent read.
