Though there's nothing quantum in it (yet), I've learnt a great deal from my coauthors while working on it. I think it may be also "fun" to read. Here it is:

A Sankey diagram from the BEIS DUKES report 2020 that shows that not all renewables are alike. When you burn stuff 2/3 of that energy is just wasted. #SecondLaw Data and fascinating charts are here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/924591/DUKES_2020_MASTER.pdf
