Energy is the fundamental currency of the universe, driving the mechanisms of natural and artificial systems alike. From the molecular bonds in our bodies to the colossal fusion reactions within stars, every process hinges on the availability and ability of energy transmission. The capacity to harness energy has allowed human civilization to develop in the way we knowand understand it today. From harnessing fire to the construction of aqueducts to the monumental leap of the Industrial Revolution. These innovations are the essence of humanity’s historicalstrides in developing our current societies.However, just as every currency transaction incurs fees, our quest for energy comes at a cost. Our fossil fuel-powered world, while spurring unprecedented growth has also introduced not a few environmental costs.As we seek more efficient and sustainable ways to harness energy, we must recognize and address the challenges these solutions bring, balancing innovation with environmental stewardship.
