Yes I inverted it to burning coal is called the industrial revolution because I think it’s neat way to look at it.

I’m thinking through the history of energy: We burned wood. Then we burned coal. Then we burned oil. Then we burned atoms.

    You’re not wrong, but your response doesn’t contribute much to answering the question.

      I don’t like his question since its a stupid question that ignores basic history. There have been only a couple of true revolutions, and oil and cars ain’t one imo

      No, I think, they both (burgersc12 and OP) have an important point.

      We can think of technology in two different ways: input and output; i.e. what do we put into the machine (source of energy) and what do we get out (factory products). They’re just looking at it from two different angles: OP is asking about power source, but burgersc12 is talking about factory outputs.
