HOVER over the link, RIGHT CLICK, select OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW. Then in the new window type CONTROL F, a word-search box appears. Type "energy" in the box, use the arrows to search up and down for entries about energy. Read them. They are very brief.

Try to answer this question by using examples around you. Who around you uses Dark Age thinking?
