Yes yes yes. That book is awesome and genuinely reads like it was written by someone with no agenda except “getting at the right answer”.

It is UK focused. This is made very explicit, but it might introduce some anchoring bias—the UK is a very densely populated country which makes the constraints on its energy supply somewhat atypical
The message is very much “here’s the sort of calculations you should be doing, go and do them yourself” rather than “take my figures as gold”
