The modern world exists because of the provision of abundant and affordable energy.

Our energy inheritance is the journey of innovation from open wood fires to the steam engine to the nuclear power plant that has built the societies we inhabit today.

Our ancestors were visionaries who built technologies that would transform the world and lifted billions out of poverty whilst providing dignified & meaningful employment for communities across the world. Modern economies and cities are only possible because of this journey.

Energy is the lifeblood of a civilisation. When energy is abundant, dense, and clean, humans have the freedom to create and build without limitation. Our inheritance is a superabundant world- powered by cheap energy & economic freedom that has led to constant innovation and ever increasing standards of living.

This is the heart of our latest ARC Conversation. Our host Gerard Holland sat down with Dr Bjorn Lomborg to talk about the narratives that are holding us back from living lives of abundance, the true cost of our climate policies, and the best ways of building a better world.
