This is a Google Group for discussions about updating David MacKay's "Sustainable Energy – without the hot air" book. Sadly, David died just about a year ago, and he had done only preliminary work on revisions.
The group is set up by UIT Cambridge. We published the first edition of David's book, and want to publish an updated edtion, under the same Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share-Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales Licence.
We have already been speaking to David's family and former colleagues, to work out how best to create an updated edition. We want to keep his voice and his approach and his insight, and above all his rigour. It will take a few months to work through that. In the meantime, let's identify what needs to be changed in the existing edition, and what needs to be added to a new one.
