A remarkable and welcome contribution to scholarly work available on energy transitions. It tells hidden histories and counternarratives around climate change, the history of environmentalism, nuclear energy, and nuclear risk. It illustrates the fraught, complex, contested, and nonlinear nature of energy transitions and how it can inform the current transition. A must-read for any energy historian. --Jeffrey Jacquet, Ohio State University Battles over energy are at the heart of modern economic and political systems. New Energies illuminates the complex history of energy transitions and points toward broad transformations resulting from a move away from fossil fuels. Theoretically engaged and conceptually wide-ranging, these stimulating essays will help provoke fresh approaches to energy studies. --Paul Sabin, Yale University
