A civilization's progress depends heavily on how it obtains and utilizes energy. For most of human history, we used our inefficient meat machines (some call them "bodies") to get things done. Now energy is harvested somewhere in the distance and we can do things like turn on lights or power our sweet, sweet cell phones. High Science explores society's dependence on energy as well as our current green and not-so-green energy sources.
