Mike and Alex hit the points on energy
Back by popular demand – the sometimes controversial and always provocative Alex Epstein, founder of the Center of Industrial Progress, teller of uncomfortable truths, and author Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas—Not Less. If you’re at all like me, you love books that live up to their titles. This one does. Alex is an energy expert who believes that our planet has all the necessary resources to support all the people on it and then some. He also believes that the planet is warming and that our reliance on fossil fuels is partly to blame. He is by no means a “climate change denier,” but he does NOT believe that fossil fuels should be limited or replaced by alternatives. Far from it. Alex believes that oil, coal, and natural gas are the best hope for human flourishing and that their actual impact on the climate can only be properly evaluated if we first understand their overall impact on humanity.
