The growing use of fossil fuels “freed human society from the fluctuations of natural energy flows by unlocking the Earth’s vast stores of oil, coal, and natural gas. Tapping these ancient concentrated deposits of solar energy multiplied the rate at which energy could be poured into the human economy.”

Affordable electric power is an indispensible
