One dominant theme of my interviews with energy workers is how craft skilled workers and professional engineers critique the dominance of finance since the 1990s. The spectre of 'the accountants' or 'uni boys' who run industry without requisite skill or knowledge looms large.

On this day 50 years ago, Bob Fulton refused to repair the Chilean Air Force engine at his work desk in protest against General Pinochet's military coup six months earlier.

The engine powered Hawker Hunter jets, which had been used on the day of the coup to bomb Santiago.
