505	0		_aSetting the Debate Right: what truly drives energy transitions is not what we may think -- The current so-called energy transition has not yet started -- The upcoming energy transition will be a byproduct of greater changes at stake -- The "North Star": there is a stunning potential to do the same things ... much better -- Are we too big to fail, or is it the opposite? -- When we reconcile with our original beliefs -- The future will be very different from the way we currently conceive it -- Riding the Inevitable: Let's not be disappointed: it will mostly look like an imperfect patchwork of changes -- What will matter now is to roll up our sleeves -- Conclusion: it's only the beginning ... good news!
520			_a"The heart of the contemporary argument on climate change and energy transition focuses on how energy supply should be decarbonized to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This book proposes an alternative approach. The Age of Fire Is Over: A New Approach to the Energy Transition finds that energy transitions are not driven by supply-side driven transformations but rather by evolutions in demand patterns. Exploring the potential of recently emerged key technologies, The Age of Fire Is Over argues that the so-called Energy Transition has not yet started. In the future, key technologies will significantly transform demand and provide services at a fraction of today's cost or offer new services not yet imagined. To a large extent, energy paradigm shifts are driven by such evolutions, largely inevitable and often unanticipated, because they provide societies with greater benefits: lower costs, more jobs, and rapid adaptation. This book closes with key novel recommendations for government institutions to accelerate the energy transition, which - instead of replicating an approach from the past - should focus on these demand transformations to both advance civilization and mitigate climate change"-- _cPublisher's website.
