The story of how societies rise can be told by tracing the story of energy. Power Trip: The Story of Energy explores humanity’s most important resource by revealing the energy embedded in our water, food, wealth, cities, transportation and war. As our modern world faces growing demand for and worsening environmental impacts from energy, we are at a crossroads and the stakes are high. But history shows us that energy’s great value is that it allows societies to reinvent themselves. Filmed in stunning locations around the world, Power Trip explores how energy has transformed societies of the past and offers wisdom for today’s looming energy crisis. Energy advances always come with costs, some of which won’t be seen until centuries later. Our current energy crisis is real, but it is solvable. We have the power.
