Simply put: energy abundance might be the single most important technological bottleneck of our time.

For a government to do more, or even for it to do what it is already doing, sometimes it first needs permission to do much less.

Prioritising is the first thing to go.

Much that we need for the world we want, we already know how to build. But much that we need for the world we want, still needs to be invented or improved.

Max You open your eyes at dawn and turn in the cool bedsheets. A few feet above your head, affixed to the top of the roof, a layer of solar panels blinks in the morning sun. Their power mixes with electricity pulled from several clean energy sources—towering wind turbines to the east, small nuclear power plants to the north, deep geothermal wells to the south. Forty years ago, your parents cooled their bedrooms with joules dredged out of coal mines and oil pits. They mined rocks and burned them, coating their lungs in the byproducts. They encased their world—your world—in a chemical heat trap. Today, that seems barbaric. You live in a cocoon of energy so clean it barely leaves a carbon trace and so cheap you can scarcely find it on your monthly bill.

The year is 2050.
