Scenarios about 'energy revolution'
The fundamental transformation in how societies produce, distribute, and consume energy resources, often marked by transitions between dominant energy sources like wood, coal, oil, and renewables. Energy revolutions reshape economic systems, geopolitical relationships, and environmental impacts, driving technological innovation and influencing the rise and fall of nations. In alternate history scenarios, different timing or directions of energy transitions can dramatically alter industrial development patterns, military capabilities, and the global balance of power.
What If Cold Fusion Actually Worked?
Exploring the alternate timeline where the 1989 cold fusion announcement led to a verified, revolutionary energy technology that transformed global energy production, economics, and geopolitics.
What If Fusion Power Was Achieved?
Exploring the alternate timeline where scientists successfully developed commercial fusion power in the early 2000s, revolutionizing global energy production and dramatically altering the course of climate change, geopolitics, and technological development.
What If Nuclear Fusion Was Achieved Earlier?
Exploring the alternate timeline where practical nuclear fusion power was successfully developed in the 1970s, transforming global energy production, geopolitics, and environmental outcomes throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
