• curprev 20:1220:12, 7 September 2024 Pithy Francoln talk contribs 16,209 bytes +176 →Reception: In this section's lead paragraph, I added links to the Wikipedia pages for "Politics of climate change," "Fossil fuel phase-out," "Technological change," "Innovation," "Energy transition," "Variable renewable energy," "Solar power," "Wind power," "Nuclear power," and "Climate change mitigation." undo
• curprev 20:0520:05, 7 September 2024 Pithy Francoln talk contribs 16,033 bytes +446 →Reception: I expanded the existing lead paragraph in this section {an overview of the book's reviews}. The existing paragraph states that reviewers found the book doesn't talk enough about policy. I expanded this to say most reviewers found it didn't adequately discuss politics, many appreciated its discussion of technological change, many also disagreed with its stress on the intermittency problem, and some disagreed with its discussion of nuclear fission power as a possible solution. undo
