No, he himself did not know what he meant. "Various reactions that output more energy than is put in" can describe anything from striking a match to fusion in the sun. It is vague. Just saying there are exothermic reactions tells us nothing. Regarding his writing I am not nit picking. That was seriously bad prose. He is a professional writer. He should know better than to cram two unrelated thoughts into one sentence with no punctuation in a response to one question and he also should know better than to write run-on sentences with multiple thoughts because that is the sort of they teach in high school or at least they used to and they darn well should now. - Jed
