أنظمة الطاقة ضرورة من ضروريَّات الحياة في مجتمعاتنا المعاصرة. وتشمل أنظمة الطاقة استغلال الوقود الأولي، وتحويله، ونقله إلى نقاط الاستخدام. لكن هذا الوقود يكون في الكثير من الأحيان وقوداً أحفوريـاً؛ يُلحِق ضرراً جسيماً بالبيئة. ولهذا السبب صار تغيير أنظمة الطاقة الحالية أمراً حتميـاً إذا ما أردنا حماية كوكبنا. في هذا الكتاب، يأخذنا نِك جينكنز في رحلةٍ نستكشف خلالَها الجهود التي بذلها البشر في استغلال موارد الوقود الأحفوري. ويناقش الكتاب أيضاً آثار استخدامنا المتزايد للطاقة، والتغييرات الجذرية في تكنولوجيا الوقود، الضروريَّة لمواصلة توفير إمدادات الطاقة على نحو مستدام. ويناقش أيضاً تأثير التحوُّل إلى أنظمة طاقة منخفضة الانبعاثات الكربونية وصديقة للبيئة، قائمة على العديد من مصادر الطاقة المتجدِّدة المختلفة.
