Challenging the conventional narrative of energy transition, this book presents a compelling argument that humanity's energy history is marked by symbiosis rather than replacement. Fressoz illustrates how each energy source has historically depended on others, revealing a persistent reliance on coal, oil, and wood. The notion of a smooth transition to green energy is exposed as a myth propagated by energy companies to delay substantial change. Through engaging examples, the book confronts readers with the harsh realities of our energy consumption and the urgent challenges that lie ahead.
