In our view, it means to pluralize the energy-historical record to write the history of this uneven yet combined energetic condition, and to remind us of forgotten or neglected ideas of energy, visions of energetic development and emancipation.

The book’s reader format pairs neglected or previously untranslated energy-historical sources with essays that contextualize and interpret events in light of our current ecological predicament. We plan to use it in teaching and hope it will be useful for other scholars, too!

That foreign empires were eyeing Chinese coal stocks did not go unnoticed by Chinese officials and fueled their renewed interest in coal geology in the 1910s. We learn about this fear of being "left behind in the dust" from Shellen Wu's essay on the rise and (potential) fall of coal in China.

Japanese and Chinese officials acted on an understanding that access to fuel secured state power and economic development. @antmis1.bsky.social introduces us to Fredrik Tryon, the first economist to formalize the relationship between energy and growth, and to measure energy across its various forms.

We asked ourselves: If human flourishing on this planet is conditioned by how we use energy, and any response to this condition will have to contend with a globally fractured energy industry, what does this mean for energy historians? 👇 https://www.sup.org/books/politics/energys-history
