    Energy - Civilisation is defined by energy but does it have to destroy humanity to produce it?

    Energy is per definition a topic sitting in the intersection of politics, technology and economics. It defines how advanced a civilization is and to a large extent, what it can do. Therefore, taking a closer look at the context involved with it can uncover important information about the future of, well, humanity. Because of that, in this series we are looking at the current political situation and the connection to energy issues, take a deep dive in the technological background of energy sources and tackle the question of what is the best strategy for energy production from an economics view.
