The flashpoint topic of energy conservation and protection is shared around the world. In Reimagining Fire, environmentally conscientious writers, poets, and artists share their perspectives about our world’s impending energy transition. To envision this transition, editor Eveline Kolijn connected these artists and writers with a network of experts from the Canadian Energy Futures Lab, along with representatives from towns, rural communities, and First Nations. The oil-producing province of Alberta serves as a microcosm for the challenges and opportunities that the world faces in decarbonizing society, an intriguing fact that makes the Alberta Story a Global Story.
