More and More and More: An All-Encompassing History of Energy Panels + Conferences

Will we soon be living in a renewable utopia? Hardly, says Paris-based environmental and technology historian Jean-Baptiste Fressoz. On the contrary: globally, we are consuming more and more energy, not less. Is the energy transition an illusion? In the beginning, there was wood. Then came coal, followed by oil and gas. And today, renewable sources like wind and solar power are on the rise. The history of energy is a history of more and more and more.
