Watch Power Trip: The Story of Energy on your local PBS station, Apple TV, and Prime Video.

Energy can be both the cause and the instrument of modern war. Advances in energy have historically arisen during the urgency of wartime.

WAR traces a centuries-long journey across the world to show us how energy changed the way we fight wars.
