Mapping the existing energy connectivity

Throughout human history, different phases of globalization and development are tied to innovations in infrastructure connectivity. Recent studies on the history of technology find that Europe’s integration began about a century earlier than the formal establishment of the European Community in 1951; infrastructure networks covering energy, transport and communications links have been the essence of European integration. Centuries ago, Asia, too, was well-connected, as the Silk Road created prosperous clusters of towns and trading posts. The Silk Route was a major channel for trade and the transfer of technology — it promoted knowledge-sharing on administrative practices such as standardized weights and measures, a system of numerical notation and identification, the labeling of commercial goods, and the opening of far-flung colonies
