It is hard to imagine something this comprehensive and well done wasn't written by a Professor or full time writer.
I sincerely hope you will have the sequel: Oil. Thanks for a very enjoyable evening.
Absolutely brilliant journalism- thank you for doing this. I can’t believe the love and effort you put into the research.
This was so interesting! I’m in my 70’s and can remember when I was little and my dad took us outside one night and we watched Sputnik fly by, being at a line at the University of Illinois with a punch card for each class I was registering for, being at work and having to learn the Lotus program. It’s great to learn this background.
This is basically the acquired podcast, but with history of energy
I can tell how knowledgeable they are on the subjects that are discussed and I love it!!! Easily should be a 5 star, but then out of nowhere they will throw in politics and it kills the mood. You guys are doing a wonderful job and I will continue to listen because of how good it is but please leave politics out. I don’t care to hear hate of one side or the other when all I am trying to do is learn about how we got to where we are today and why. If I wanted to do that I would turn on the news.
