A brief history of fossil fuels, climate, cars, batteries and Tesla

A Wait But Why article explains how millions of years of history have resulted in our current petrol-burning car situation and how Tesla is going to change the world with their dedication to seeing the rise of the far superior electric vehicle

A classic black American car with white "flames" running down the side sits low to the ground. It has a cable running into the hood and the shot is taken from a low angle towards the front corner of the car. Image was processed as HDR.

This extremely in-depth article (it’s more like a short book) from Wait But Why is a fascinating and in-depth look at what energy is, where it comes from, how cars were invented, how far they have (or have not) come in the past century and the company that is trying to change the world.

Seriously, set aide an hour of your time and get ready to learn a thing or two about energy, the world, cars and the future. You won’t regret it.
