Abstract

Coal, oil, and gas—fossil fuels: we can’t do without them. They are the life-blood of modern industrial civilization. These highly concentrated, widely available stores of energy have unleashed modern civilization’s astonishing productivity, liberating billions of people from drudgery and insecurity. Finding more fossil fuels and getting them to markets around the world is the challenge of our times.
