Professor Yates published a chapter on the environmental history of "Port Gentil: From Forestry Capital to Energy Capital," in Energy Capitals: Local Impact, Global Influence (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2014), an edited volume by Joseph A. Pratt, Martin V. Melosi and Kathleen A. Brosnan. This work came out of a conference at the University of Houston in 2010, which was funded with the support of the National Science Foundation to promote research energy history and its intersection with urban and environmental history. The cities in this volume represent important energy capitals in the fossil fuel era. Studying the evolution of energy capital reveals similarities and differences useful in understanding historical patterns of energy-led development where it takes place. This study of energy capitals contributes a long-term perspective to current debates about the best ways to capture the benefits while managing the costs of such energy development.
