firesevery

Firesevery is a term used to describe a hypothetical system in which fire-based energy is universally available. "Fire" encompasses controlled combustion, heat networks, and high-temperature processes. The core idea is universal access: reliable, affordable energy derived from fire-like mechanisms, deployed safely. The term appears in energy-policy debates, speculative design, and science fiction to examine questions of equity, infrastructure, and risk.

Origin and usage: The phrase arises in late 20th to early 21st-century discussions about energy access and resilience. It is not tied to a single technology but to a family of distributed, fire-based systems—municipal heat networks, safe residential heaters, and emissions-controlled gasification. Proponents use it to contrast universal access with monopolistic or inequitable models; critics point to safety, emissions, and resource efficiency.

Technical and social considerations: Realizing firesevery would require robust safety regulations, fire-safe infrastructure, and reliable fuel supply chains. Environmental impact depends on the combustion source and controls. Governance would need safety standards, fair distribution, and outage resilience. Critics warn against dependence on combustion and urge cleaner alternatives.

In fiction and design discourse, firesevery is used to explore energy justice, vulnerability, and the social costs of energy scarcity. It serves as a thought experiment to compare pathways to reliable heat and power and to examine community responses to outages.
