At every step, fossil fuel is embedded in our industrial system. It is both a critical material in itself (think plastics and fertiliser) as well as an enabler for other critical materials.  From the diggers getting the raw materials out of the ground, to the ships and trucks used to transport it to get refined, almost everything we touch has been shaped by oil. 

We’ve built our modern world on something we rarely stop to think about - energy. Cheap, abundant, and reliable energy has shaped how we live, move, build, and grow. But the conditions that created that world are changing.
