Welcome. This is the discussion space attached to the Energy Atlas, covering energy sources, technologies, facilities, organizations and the pioneers who built them, every comparative claim naming its runner up or competing claimant, Pearl Street beside Holborn Viaduct and Obninsk beside Calder Hall among them. A few house rules: keep a disagreement about evidence rather than about people, and cite what you can.
The atlas itself is still being built. Every room below carries an opening note from the curator to start it off, and you are welcome to open your own thread on anything those rooms cover, or to use this room for whatever does not fit a narrower one.
