Turning Oil Into Salt (by Gal Luft and Anne Korin) to me about a month ago, and on a recent trans-oceanic flight I had the time to read it. At a slim 124 pages, it’s a quick read. And while I was often frustrated by the style of their argument, and sometimes by the substance as well, there were a lot of good ideas and I think reading it would be time well spent for anyone interested in energy.
In order to organize my thoughts, as well as make them more bite-sized and readable for readers, I’ll write on each of the following as a separate post.
- Things I liked
- Fuel choice via the Open Fuel Standard
- Intellectual consistency
- Selective thinking on fungibility
- Alcohol as fuel
- Batteries are the crux
P.S. It appears my flight was long enough not only to read the book, but also to attempt a massive multi-part review. I'll be curious to read this once I'm removed from the haze of travel.
