Energy is now a key issue of political debate. At a time when we are told that our excessive use of fossil fuels threatens the environment itself, environmentalism advocates that the only solution is restraint and reduction.

FUSION NOW! asks what art and society might be like if we thought positively about a world based on more energy, not less.
