ABOUT
Accelerate explores how climate change is directly affecting the world’s fuel supply and energy production, as well as impacting the physical resilience of current and future energy infrastructures and ultimately our mental health as a result of fuel poverty. This problem will be presented through metaphor, where the human experience of energy is parallel to the planet’s current crisis.
