Thanks! I admit I have soft spot for this Italian curmudgeon as well. His book Extracted (I will review this at some point…) was the first of his I read and I have been following him ever since.

I am quite a fan of Ugo and my only quibble with him is his hopeful optimism around renewables as the hope for the future. Certainly it is self evident that renewables will be the hope for the future as they have underpinned the past but I think they have zero chance of replacing the energy substrate of fossil energy as currently configured in our industrial machine.
