I'm sorry to say I had a hard time with reading this piece. It articulates some very smart ideas, some of which I've already encountered in the other articles dealing with energy, but as the author says it might do with some editing. Honestly, it's hard to decide to dig into a long article when the first thing you read is a disclaimer about how the author couldn't be bothered to edit it more thoroughly. I did read it of course, and it did feel under-edited. I'm going to keep this issue open for now and I sincerely hope the author decides to edit it a bit, before it's added to the page. It has lots of potential in my humble opinion.
