このコンテンツについて
This episode explores the long history of energy use as told by Vaclav Smil in Energy and Civilization: A History, starting with the basic power of human and animal muscles and moving toward the harnessing of wind and water.
We will look at how these traditional power sources were essential for early agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing.
The episode also examines the transition to the use of fossil fuels like coal, which greatly expanded the availability of energy and enabled the Industrial Revolution.
We will see how innovations like the steam engine and the development of electricity transformed societies, and also look at the human cost of these developments, for example in coal mining.
Finally, we will consider how the concentration of power in modern technologies requires new safety precautions and how energy use continues to evolve and impact our civilization.
