piFueli is an idiosyncratic, speculative dictionary of fuels, real and imagined, historical and futuristic, hopeless and utopian. Drawing on literature, film, and scientific treatises--most produced long before climate change was in circulation--Fuel argues for a distinction between energy a system of power and fuel a substance, which can be thought of as potentiality as it endeavors to undo the dream that we can simply switch to renewables and all will be golden.ppFrom Air to Zyklon B, entries in this unusual dictionary include Algae, Clathrates, Dilithium, Fleece, Goats, Theology, Whale Oil, and many, many more. The tone of the entries ranges as widely as the topics from historical anecdotes the Ford Fiesta boozemobile to eccentric readings of the classics of energy lit iGerminali and iOil i from literary observations a high octane iOdysseyi to excursions into literary theory. The dictionary draws from an eccentric canon, including works by Jules Verne, George Eliot'si Silas Marneri,
