A brief history of shale gas, fracking, and the quest for ever greater quantities of cheap energy. Calculating the remaining resources of oil, gas, coal, and uranium. And the abundant materials available to build solar panels and wind turbines for a sustainable energy future.

Why the total lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, and geothermal are at least ten times lower than fossil fuels. How natural gas emissions can be just as bad as coal. And why biofuels are not as low-carbon as you might assume.

Understanding the virtuous circle of accumulated knowledge, technology, and surplus energy - a brief history of human innovation and how the industrial revolution increased not only population, but also prosperity.

Why nuclear is (and isn’t) the safest form of energy. And why the worst energy disaster in history killed just 3% of the number of people who lose their lives from air pollution every year.
