What if fossil fuels actually make our world cleaner, safer, and better? Energy expert Alex Epstein calls for a fossil-filled future. — Alex Epstein is a philosopher and energy expert who argues that “human flourishing” should be the guiding principle of industrial and environmental progress. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels.
Well, of COURSE. We should dance with who brung us. Every so-called renewable energy except nuclear has a much higher environmental impact than fossil fuels.
They talk about the risks of 1.5 or 2c of warming, I don’t hear much about the risks of braving subzero temps without power, or food shortages because crop yields have collapsed because we ban nitrogen fertilizer.
I think Alex Epstein is brilliant. I think he should get into politics and help lead the nation to energy common sense.
No question. He’s excellent in his delivery and its composition. He’s an adult in the room, compared to the child like Barbara Boxer.
Why are not more educated people catching on? – Maybe something to do with that education.
“Maybe”?
This is exactly where we need to go. Thank you Alex. Some sanity amid of flood of idiocy.
the Chinese and Indians are obviously following his advice.
A couple of students in the video appear to have short attention spans, or are just ‘occupying space’. Personally, I appreciate slower speech patterns; more along the lines of Dr. Robert Malone, whom I can (and have) listen to for hours. Facts well presented here, though… thanks for the video.
