Andrew made a comment on Mike’s review of Energy: A Human History " To be fair, the book was published in 2018, so it was a little more difficult to foresee the meteoric rise of renewable energy. "

Andrew’s Quotes

“Travels are one of the sources of history: by the narratives of travelers the history of foreign nations is placed beside the particular history of each country," wrote François-René de Chateaubriand in the preface to his Travels in America (1836)”

“What makes something simple or complex? It's not the number of dials or controls or how many features it has: It is whether the person using the device has a good conceptual model of how it operates.”
