This is a cool book: it's all about electricity.

The author is obviously a journalist (only journalists call machinery >"contraptions" or electricity "juice") but at least he gets the units
right.
Sounds like we'll be burning a lot of coal for a long time in the
future.

Robert Bryce was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Research institute
from 2012 to 2019. He stopped being a journalist quite a while ago.
"The Manhattan Institute is a policy think tank that has received
significant funding from both ExxonMobil and Koch Industries. According
to media transparency, the Manhattan Institute has been known to
obscure science supporting man-made climate change.
Bryce has been unwilling to answer questions about the funding the
Manhattan Institute receives from the fossil fuel industry."
So John Larkin is - as usual - peddling climate change denial
propaganda. He is a gullible sucker for that kind of nonsense.

My go-to source for dirt on organisations is Transparency
International, and they make no such accusation. You're wrong again.
