Fuel: a speculative dictionary
Fuel is an idiosyncratic, speculative dictionary of fuels, real and imagined, historical and futuristic, hopeless and utopian. Drawing on literature, film, and scientific treatises--most produced long before "climate change" was in circulation--Fuel argues for a distinction between energy (a system of power) and fuel (a substance, which can be thought of as "potentiality") as it works to undo the dream that we can simply switch to renewables and all will be golden.
