"Energy transition is perilous but thrilling, a story of opportunity more than mere survival.... If we succeed, it will be a story of collaboration and cooperation on a scale and with a speed never before seen in human history. And it is already underway, and it is accelerating. We have already begun to reimagine fire." --Chris Turner, from the Foreword
The momentous topic of energy conservation and protection is shared around the world. In Reimagining Fire, environmentally conscious writers, poets, and artists from Alberta exert their opinions about our world's impending energy transition. To envision this transition, editor Eveline Kolijn connected these artists and writers with a network of experts from the Energy Futures Lab, along with with representatives from towns, rural communities, and First Nations.
