John, please say more about this - for instance what do you mean by "waste heat?" In 2023 total primary energy consumption of fossil fuels is estimated to be 140,000 TWh. Are you considering all, or only some of that to be "waste heat?"

This is one of my favorite passages from The Road. If you have ever lost anything Beautiful. Then you know, the crushing and unrelenting Truth, the just-so-ness, of this existence. Things that once were - and can not be made right again.

maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.”

Call me late to supper - but here's my 2 cents.

Of books I've read, yes, Cormac McCarthy, The Road.

Of books I started but never finished, Theodore Dreiser's, An American Tragedy, or John Keegan's, The First World War.
