Slowly but surely the energy mix is turning its back on coal, reducing demand through efficiency, diversifying sources and de-centralising production, which will make a decrease of CO2 emissions possible. In this process, we have a duty to be realistic and thus should ask questions like: What can new technologies contribute to this conversion?

Can we claim that buildings are self-sufficient when energy generation elsewhere might be far more efficient?

And do we have to count on nuclear energy, now that we are so late in avoiding climate change?

The consequences of this shift for our societies and landscapes will be huge, and for some even frightening. But if we take a close look at how the existing energy system, based on fossil fuels, came into being and how it has already changed the environment, one might think that the next transition could be more familiar to us than we generally believe. Anyhow, this time there is a lot more at stake.
