Description

Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas--Not Less by Alex Epstein. The latest data and new insights from energy expert Alex Epstein challenge our understanding of the future of energy. For over a decade, Epstein has argued that the benefits of fossil fuels to human flourishing outweigh their environmental impacts. In reality, fossil fuels remain the dominant source of energy globally, while much-hyped renewables are causing electricity prices to rise and blackouts to increase. Despite concerns about climate change, fossil-fuel development has brought global poverty to an all-time low. Epstein's "human flourishing framework" examines the evidence and comes to a surprising conclusion: the benefits of fossil fuels will continue to far outweigh their side effects for generations to come. He argues that the path to global human flourishing lies in a combination of using more fossil fuels, improving "climate mastery," and establishing "energy freedom" policies that allow promising alternatives to reach their full potential. This book offers a fresh perspective on the future of energy and its impact on human flourishing.
