Thanks Tom! The historical perspective is useful, I think, to help guide the general public's attention to thinking of the importance of energy and the easy and reliable access they have of it. The other interesting point of your article on pipeline welding is a reminder of how welding technology has progressed in our lifetimes. I always enjoy your articles and you do a great job in lifting. up good points.
