|
| "The history of human civilizations

| - including their rise and fall - can't

| appreciate the importance of ‘power

| |
| | human progress is directly correlated to
|
| societies and cultures, energy has played
| |
| | the amount of energy produced and
|
| invariably a pivotal role, beginning with

| | consumed per capita. A fact this,
|
| the energy that we, as living humans,
| |
| | substantiated by econometrics studies. In

| must store in our own bodies to survive.
| |
| | fact, going back to David Attenborough,
|
| Because of this, the destiny of our
| |
| | "the very function of culture is to
|
| ancestors in the Homo lineage was that of
| |
| | gather and control energy so that it may
|
| wandering the plains of Africa in search

| | world and in any epoch have accomplished
|
| the way, the destiny of all other members
| |
| | the development of their societies by
|
| of the Animal Kingdom - except that Homo
| |
| | inventing tools to capture and transform
|
| excelled at it. By acting collectively
| |
| | energy to manage the creation and
|
| and cooperatively with the environment,
| |
| | maintenance of social institutions. So
|
| Homo (by now become sapiens) was able to
| |
| | therefore, what we call ‘progress'
|
| increase the critical mass of the brain
| |
| | is merely the use of tools in combination
|
| and to use the added intelligence to
| |
| | to capture, store and use more and more
|
| secure what he needed to sustain small
| |
| | energy and, by so doing, to extend our
|
| communities - the embryo of
| |
| | power and increase our wellbeing. All of
|
| civilization.Later on, as the quest for
| |
| | which brings us to the present
|
| improved life progressed, Homo sapiens
| |
| | time.Energy is so essential in today's
|
| continued to hone his above-average
| |
| | technologically advanced world, that no

| intellectual capabilities to make the

| | one can envision a society without it. So
|
| transition between nomadic life to that
| |
| | much so, in fact, that no one and nothing
|
| of more stable nuclei, which based their
| |
| | can function without energy either. Going
|
| sustenance on agriculture. By
| |
| | through a blackout, even of modest
|
| domesticating animals and plants,
| |
| | proportions, underscores this point.
|
| furthermore, Homo sapiens secured a
| |
| | Classical capitalist theory embeds the
|
| continuous and reliable supply and
| |
| | concept that the creation and
|
| surplus of readily available energy and,
| |
| | transformation of energy is vital to the

| Agricultural surpluses, later on, freed
| |
| | concept of free trade in Capitalism, but
|
| people from attending the land on a daily
| |
| | also sheds light on the reason - the sole
|
| basis. Thus various Homo sapiens could
| |
| | reason, in fact - as to why civilizations
|
| differentiate tasks and this
| |
| | ultimately collapse and
|
| differentiation spawned new, more complex
| |
| | disappear.Collapse sets in when a mature
|
| institutional and hierarchical
| |
| | civilization reaches the point at which
|
| arrangements within their primitive
| |
| | it is forced to spend more and more of
|
| societies.As a direct and proximate
| |
| | its energy reserves merely to maintain

| | its complex social arrangements, while

| abandoned pre-history and walked

| | stages of civilization, the creation of

| greater energy flow-through. It was
| |
| | infrastructures such as roads, irrigation

| 10,000 years ago.From the onset, the
| |
| | systems and conquest of new lands and
|
| relationship between energy and cultural
| |
| | territories are determinant to a net
|
| development has been very strong. The tie
| |
| | increase of energy returns over energy
|
| and junction point between energy and
| |
| | expenditures. In the late stages, states

| culture is also the thread behind the

| | spend most of the energy just to maintain

| concepts of ‘allocation of scarce

| Lionel Charles Robbins (1898-1984)

| defined ‘resource scarcity' as the
