The Modern Revolution Fossil Fuels Democratic Politics Communication Revolution Quite a package! But how did these changes get all bundled up together? 4
For starters, in Big Era Seven human population was increasing faster than ever before! 5
World Population, 400 BCE - 2000 CE 6
World Population in Tijdvak 8 But the growth was not equal everywhere! 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 Millions 400 200 0 1750 1850 1900 7
World Population of People of European Descent in Europe, the United States, and Canada combined. Year Population in % of World Millions Population 1750 141 19.3 1850 292 25.0 1900 482 30.0 For example, the population of European descent in these three regions grew significantly between 1750 and 1900. 8
Growth of the Population of Boston 1690 - 7,000 158% 1790 - 18,038 3,010% 1900 - 560,892 9
Not only was the human population growing, it was moving. 10

But a growing population meant that human need for resources—for energy—was growing, too. And humans dealt with this need by using fossil fuels. Watch! 15

The Fossil Fuel Revolution The biological old regime ends when vast new sources of energy come into use: Coal Electricity Gas Petroleum Nuclear 19
By taking energy from fossil fuels like coal instead of biomass like wood 20
and with better and better steam engines to harness coal’s energy 22
People could produce more efficiently. Power loom weaving Lancashire, 1835 23
In Britain coal mines were close to factories and cities. In China coal mines were far from factories and cities. How might history have been different if the closest sources of coal available to Britain were, say, in the Carpathian Mountains of southeastern 24
And travel more quickly. Robert Fulton’s Clermont steamship 1807 26
And travel more quickly George Stephenson’s “Rocket” steam locomotive 1829 27

Old limits on how much energy people could use were gone! And in Big Era Seven people tore down other limits too 33
