Richard Heinberg examines humanity’s unprecedented power over the planet, exploring the consequences of its overuse, which he argues has led to ecological and social crises. He questions how humanity’s dominance has brought the planet to the verge of disaster and whether we can change our relationship with power to avert catastrophe.
