Hoes van Christopher F. Jones: Routes of Power (ePUB)

The fossil fuel revolution is usually a tale of advances in energy production. Christopher Jones tells a tale of advances in energy access–canals, pipelines, wires delivering cheap, abundant power to cities at a distance from production sites. Between 1820 and 1930 these new transportation networks set the U.S. on a path to fossil fuel dependence.
