Note: said society is preindustrial and has ample access to flowing water, but not fossil fuels or radioactive deposits. It also has access to mountain hot springs, which I thought could also be used as “batteries” during times when streams freeze. This last point is what set him off.

He also really hates wind turbines.

    Reminds me just a bit of Dragonriders of Pern

    Lol, literally the only thing I know about that series is the author’s infamous “tent peg statement” (CW for homophobia if you decide to look that up)

    I like stories/settings about humans entering into mutually beneficial relationships with other sapients (biological, technological, or otherwise).

    Hell yeah, those are extremely my jam.
