Around a decade ago I read a book that changed the lens that I view the world through.

David MacKay’s Sustainable Energy – without the hot air was the book I had been waiting for. In almost every field we get caught up in the weeds of problems and solutions. We repeat statements – often from the gut – without stress-testing them. We are too close to see the big picture.

MacKay took the opposite approach.
