      How capitalism first promoted fossil fuels with the rise of steam power

      The more we know about the catastrophic implications of climate change, the more fossil fuels we burn. How did we end up in this mess?

Contrary to established views, steam offered neither cheaper nor more abundant energy—but rather superior control of subordinate labour.
