Do the Math | Using physics and estimation to assess energy, growth, optionsâby Tom Murphy

The vision of a carbon-free, net-zero society is often framed around the promise of transitioning away from fossil fuels. But what can we learn from past âenergy transitionsâ that might inform how feasible â or unrealistic â this vision actually is?
