Resumen del Editor
A global tour of energy - the builder of human civilization and also its greatest threat.
Energy is humanity's single most important resource. In fact, as energy expert Michael E. Webber argues in Power Trip, the story of how societies rise can be told largely as the story of how they manage energy sources through time. In 2019, as we face down growing demand for and accumulating environmental impacts from energy, we are at a crossroads and the stakes are high. But history shows us that energy's great value is that it allows societies to reinvent themselves.
Power Trip explores how energy has transformed societies of the past and offers wisdom for today's looming energy crisis. There is no magic bullet; energy advances always come with costs. Scientific innovation needs public support. Energy initiatives need to be tailored to individual societies. We must look for long-term solutions. Our current energy crisis is real, but it is solvable. We have the power.
Reseñas de la Crítica
Choice Award for Outstanding Academic Title
"Energy is central to everything we care about in society. But it's also hard to understand. With this book, Webber has done a service by explaining energy in a way that is easy to understand and fun to read." (Ernie Moniz, former US secretary of energy)
"From creating wealth to starting wars, energy permeates our lives. Webber gives us a sense of just how inseparable energy has been to our past, and will be in our future." (Martin Doyle, professor in the environmental sciences at Duke University)
"To all of us concerned about new energy shocks and still hopeful of creating a better energy future - this book explains why the stakes of energy transition are higher than ever. It's a really good read and highlights how access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy is essential in everything we do as citizens, consumers, communities and whole societies." (Angela Wilkinson, senior director of Scenarios and Business Insights for the World Energy Council)

Bill Gates shares what he's learned in more than a decade of studying climate change and investing in innovations to address the problems, and sets out a vision for how the world can build the tools it needs to get to zero greenhouse gas emissions. Bill Gates explains why he cares so deeply about climate change and what makes him optimistic that the world can avoid the most dire effects of the climate crisis. Gates says, "We can work on a local, national, and global level to build the technologies, businesses, and industries to avoid the worst impacts of climate change."

Michael Shellenberger has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the world’s last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to today’s Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions. But in 2019, as some claimed "billions of people are going to die", contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction.

As the 21st century progresses, metropolitan areas will bear the brunt of global megatrends such as climate change, natural resource depletion, population growth, income inequality, mass migrations, and education and health disparities, among many others.

For most of human existence, people lived in a somewhat similar fashion. Everything that has been produced, from food and raw materials to clothing and other finished products, has been done either solely by hand or with some help of animal power. This was the same across the eras and throughout the world, no matter how advanced or backward the various civilizations were. Yet, our lives today couldn’t be more different.

Historia
For decades environmentalists have told us that using fossil fuels is a self-destructive addiction that will destroy our planet. Yet by every measure of human well-being, from life expectancy to clean water to climate safety, life has been getting better and better. How can this be? The explanation is that we usually hear only one side of the story. We're taught to think only of the negatives of fossil fuels, their risks and side effects, but not their positives.

Growth has been both an unspoken and an explicit aim of our individual and collective striving. It governs the lives of microorganisms and galaxies; it shapes the capabilities of our extraordinarily large brains and the fortunes of our economies. Growth is manifested in annual increments of continental crust, a rising gross domestic product, a child's growth chart, the spread of cancerous cells. In this magisterial book, Vaclav Smil offers systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations.

Electric lighting, indoor plumbing, home appliances, motor vehicles, air travel, air conditioning, and television transformed households and workplaces. With medical advances, life expectancy between 1870 and 1970 grew from 45 to 72 years. The Rise and Fall of American Growth provides an in-depth account of this momentous era.

A History of Energy for Everybody
Michael Webber has done an excellent job of explaining the evolution of energy throughout human history. He is able to describe complex topics with overlapping threads without getting bogged down in technospeak. I especially enjoyed his chapters on water and food. They opened my eyes to connections I'd never put together before. In many ways his method of tying things together reminded me of Freakonomics.
I was disappointed in the style of the narration by L. J. Ganser. I know Michael Webber and know his speaking style. He has a great sense of humor and doesn't get preachy. Ganser's narration missed the humor and often sounded like a sermon. I hope that Michael will do his own narrations in the future.
The main message of this book is that there are moral, ethical, and social considerations with all forms of energy. They evolve along with our civilization. No form of energy is all good or all bad. There are always trade-offs. Policy decisions need to be informed by an understanding of the potential consequences. Power Trip does a very good job of explaining what the trade-offs are and what we should be considering. Put another way, knowledge is power.

Academic, but in a very good way
The author is a Prof of Mech E at UT Austin, and a relatively highly-cited researcher.
The book is a fairly comprehensive history of the interplay between water, oil, and renewables, with plenty of technical, economic, sociological, etc. aspects discussed.
Not a dull moment for me to listen to this audible; very well written and read.

Few books like it
Great book with an excellent balance of discussing the technology, history, challenges, and solutions of energy.
I love books that can explain a topic from its context in broader human civilization. The book connects so many different threads and is structured very clearly.
I feel vastly more confident and educated on a topic I thought I knew a lot about. The world is a huge place and this book helps make it smaller with its tour of energy and how it permeates everything.

Entertaining Trip Through The History of Energy
Dr. Webber weaves the surprising connections between energy, water and major advancements in our civilization. From surprising insights like how the Tennessee Valley River Authority was founded on the back of the women’s suffrage movement to how critical technology shocks that fuel today’s economy were in fact powered by energy innovation, this book is full of great stories of how energy is woven into every facet of our daily lives.
