David MacKay – last interview and tribute
David died soon aftewards. You can read my personal thoughts about David in this blogpost, read David’s own final blogposts here, and also find the obituary I wrote for him in the Guardian newspaper. You’ll see he also mentions the Global Calculator, which you can find here. My thanks go to Davin Yap, who did the cameras, and Robert Stone, who put the different feeds together and stitched it into a remarkable piece of film and I hope a fitting tribute to David MacKay. Thanks are also due, as you will see, to The Proclaimers.

See you in 500 Miles!
Thanks Mark
Great to hear your interview, genuinely touching and understated in a very British way.
Mark / Davin / Robert / and The Proclaimers – thank you for making and posting this. A fitting tribute.
Very difficult to think that his bright flame went out so shortly afterwards.
We must not lose sight of his legacy to the energy scene in our new post-fact world: the basic physics and the numbers.
I didn’t know David’s work directly before this interview but I will read his book now with real interest. Thanks for him and for his life well lived. Also thank you for this touching tribute to a man that shined integrity and was obviously so well loved. We all need to be prepared to walk 500 miles or more to address climate change.
Mark – Thank you for posting this. As someone who worked with David at DECC I appreciate very much the effort you have gone to in paying tribute to him. Keep fighting the good fight.
Well done Mark! A lot of it is electrifying stuff. I am thinking I’ll post the video Saturday, obviously with full credits, if that’s OK.
I wish David was still around because I would dearly like to have a discussion with him about CCS that I have long argued is bonkers unless used along with EOR.
Best
Euan
