Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.
Yes, this is definitely worth reading. I read/skimmed it (you can get a free pdf) and learned more about practical energy futures than from any other source. The goal of the book is to provide a framework for comparing energy strategies to reduce/eliminate carbon emissions. Spoiler alert: think concentrated solar and/or nuclear.
My only nit: the book is primarily UK oriented though there are sections applying similar analysis for North America. A "translation" of the book targeting the US would be helpful.
