It is clear from the passage that coal-fired steam power ----.
The French Revolution transformed the political and
diplomatic landscape of Europe suddenly and
dramatically. The transformation of industry came
more gradually. By the 1830s or 1840s, however,
writers and social thinkers in Europe were
increasingly aware of unexpected and extraordinary
changes in their economic world. They began to
speak of an “industrial revolution,” one that seemed
to parallel the revolution in politics. The term has
stayed with us. The Industrial Revolution spanned the
hundred years after 1780. It represented the first
breakthrough from an agricultural and
overwhelmingly rural economy to one characterized
by large-scale manufacturing, more capital-intensive
enterprises, and urbanization. It involved new
sources of energy and power, faster transportation,
mechanization, higher productivity, and new ways of
organizing human labour. It triggered social changes
with revolutionary consequences for the West and its
relationship with the world. Of all these changes,
perhaps the most important one was to be seen in
energy. Over the space of two or three generations, a
society and an economy that had traditionally drawn
on water, wind, and wood for most of its energy
needs came to depend on steam engines and coal.
In other words, the Industrial Revolution brought the
beginnings of “the fossil fuel age.”
