Krátky popis
A radical new history of energy and humanity's insatiable need for
resources that will change the way we talk about climate changeIt
has become habitual to think of our relationship with energy as one
of transition: with wood superseded by coal, coal by oil, oil by
nuclear and then at some future point all replaced by green
sources. Jean-Baptiste Fressoz’s devastating but unnervingly
entertaining book shows what an extraordinary delusion this is. Far
from the industrial era passing through a series of
transformations, each new phase has in practice remained almost
wholly entangled with the previous one.Indeed the very idea of
transition turns out to be untrue. The author shares the same acute
anxiety about the need for a green transition as the rest of us,
but shows how, disastrously, our industrial history has in fact
been based on symbiosis, with each major energy source feeding off
the others. Using a fascinating array of examples, Fressoz
describes how we have gorged on all forms of energy – with whole
forests needed to prop up coal mines, coal remaining central to the
creation of innumerable new products and oil still central to our
lives.The world now burns more wood and coal than ever before. This
book reveals an uncomfortable truth: ‘transition’ was originally
itself promoted by energy companies, not as a genuine plan, but as
a means to put off any meaningful change. More and More and More
forces its readers to understand the modern world in all its
voracious reality, and the true nature of the challenges heading
our way.
