- Up-scaling, formative phases, and learning in the historical diffusion of energy technologies (2012, background): “Global primary energy consumption increased 16-fold in the 20th century, as did GDP, compared to a 4-fold increase in population (Smil, 2000).”
- Renewable Energy in the Context of Sustainable Development (2011, background): “, 2008), industrial societies are frequently characterized as ‘high-energy civilizations’ (Smil, 2000).”
- Will History Repeat Itself? Economic Convergence and Convergence in Energy Use Patterns (2012, background): “The ability to control energy and material flows is arguably one of the most crucial factors for the socio-economic development of any society (Cleveland et al., 1984) and access to energy stored in the form of fossil fuels has been identified as one key aspect of the Industrial 20 Revolution (Smil,”
