dc.description.abstractEnFears of coal shortage emerged in Great Britain at the end of the 18th century, when coal becamenot only the basis of British people’s daily lives, but also the staple of their economy. At thebeginning of the 1870s, these fears intensified, following the publication of Stanley Jevons’s bookThe Coal Question in 1865 and a very long and difficult coal famine. This made it more complicatedto put aside the fears of shortage. That nothing was finally done to tackle this issue can beexplained by a strong faith in science (to solve all problems) and in free trade (even though itbegan to be fiercely contested), but also by a sense of doom: getting out of a system entirelybased on coal demanded efforts that seemed overwhelming compared to the immediate dangersof shortage or even pollution.
