Energy is essential to life.  Modern developed societies have long benefited from the Earth’s vast stores of fossil fuels, but these precious commodities that have fueled industrial development and created economic prosperity are increasingly expensive and politically charged. 

The Great Search for Energy investigates the historic evolution of energy use from the beginning of human existence, the status quo in terms of energy supply and demand, and the trends in future energy production and use.
