The Wealth of Nations. Electricity and the Needs of the World

The Wealth of Nations. Electricity and the Needs of the World

Electricity has enveloped the world in an invisible network, penetrating all corners of life and culture, making possible for humans what was fantasy just a hundred or two hundred years ago. At the same time, achievements bring unexpected challenges: entire... countries become dependent on fossil fuels and energy mafias, generation based on nuclear fuel sometimes leads to natural disasters, and energy storage issues require innovative solutions. Robert Bryce, in his profound and multifaceted study of energy issues, invites us to reflect on our 'electric present' and prepare for a future that arrives with each new connection on the planet, describing a new era of energy independence and ecological responsibility. Humanity faces new horizons and uncharted paths where electrification fosters trust in economic growth and social justice.
