Maslow proposed a ranking of human needs in 1954 and while it is considered somewhat controversial today, it does provide us with a valuable framework for considering priorities in many aspects of life.
“Energy is more than life, it is the force and power that allows a person and all of mankind to be freed from the limitations of our bodies and to harness the power of our minds. Without the application of external energy we could only build what we are physically capable of lifting and certainly never fly or move faster than we can run. Our quality of life and the entire global economy is based on energy. It is as vital as air and water to our survival.”
