David MacKay's Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air

  This is really outdated, so unless you want to marvel at how wrong even a smart and well-meaning person could be in the face of rapid technological change, probably not worth revisiting. There's been a few attempts to update it with modern numbers but they're so different it effectively nullifies the whole point of the book.

    I've google a bit but couldn't find anything but universal appraisal for the book. Would you mind elaborating on which numbers changed and how did it nullify the whole point?
