Dear Frederick,

Hope 2024 found you with a smile!

It's great to hear that you, as an engineer, appreciated the characterization of the ocean as an engine. I'm glad I could provide some useful information you hadn't known before.

Your observations about the potential for humans to become a photosynthetic engine are intriguing, especially noting the positive environmental changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Your perspective on money as an energy transport system tied to solar collection resonates well with the need for sustainable economic practices.

I'm grateful for your comprehensive view on systemic changes needed in our approach to energy and economics. Understanding and integrating with natural systems are indeed crucial for harmonious coexistence.

Thanks again for your insights, encouragement, and unconditional support. Here's to a shared commitment to a better, sustainable future!
