More and More and More

In "More and More and More," Jean-Baptiste Fressoz challenges the conventional narrative of humanity’s energy evolution, asserting that the belief in a linear transition from one energy source to another—culminating in green energy—is fundamentally flawed. Through historical and contemporary examples, he reveals how our reliance on various energy forms has only intensified, despite widespread climate pledges aimed at curbing fossil fuel use. This thought-provoking work confronts uncomfortable realities about our consumption habits and the marketing of "transition" by energy companies, ultimately urging us to recognize the immense challenges we face in a world grappling with a looming planetary crisis.
