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.

      ? Your point being that we didn’t stop burning coal when we got oil? I am aware.

        Yeah i basically just wanted to tell you that there’s actual data on stuff and if you wanna know, you gotta read it all, there’s a lot. I don’t know what it would help you and ask a question such as “is there a name for the time when we started to burn oil?” because if i give you an answer, what do you do with that answer? if you can’t embed it into a broader context, that answer seems pretty useless to me. So if you actually wanna know, maybe start reading it all. idk. maybe i come off arrogant, but that’s not my intention. i just don’t understand what your motivation for asking this question is?

        Looking at that graph and extrapolating from your comment, you’re saying the industrial revolution started in 1900?
