    Haven't got the time now to go into it. BUT, didn't really take off as an
    alternative until the steam engine -- which is what enabled factories to free
    themselves from water power. That was the defining moment.

    HOWEVER, if you would like to have your date, please do. My point is still
    made: we are still feeling the changes sparked by the adoption of fossil
    fuels./
