Redefining Progress: A Speculative Look at a World Fueled by the Sun, Wind, and Water


What would our world look like if the first energy revolution was sparked by renewable sources rather than fossil fuels? "What If Renewable Energy Was Discovered First?" takes you on a speculative journey into an alternative history where solar panels, wind turbines, and hydroelectric dams are at the heart of industrialization. This book explores the far-reaching implications of this imaginary world—uncovering the impact on the environment, geopolitics, and the global economy. Would we still face climate change? How would energy-dependent geopolitics shift? What would happen to the economic structures built around oil and coal? By comparing this imagined reality with our own, the book offers a compelling lens through which to consider the choices that lie ahead of us. If you're interested in energy policy, environmental studies, or simply enjoy thought-provoking "what-if" scenarios, this book is for you.
