The New York Times bestselling author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels draws on the latest data and new insights to challenge everything you thought you knew about the future of energy

For over a decade, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein has predicted that any negative impacts of fossil fuel use on our climate will be outweighed by the unique benefits of fossil fuels to human flourishing-including their unrivaled ability to provide low-cost, reliable energy to billions of people around the world, especially the world's poorest people.

And contrary to what we hear from media "experts" about today's "renewable revolution" and "climate emergency," reality has proven Epstein right:

Fact: Fossil fuels are still the dominant source of energy around the world, and growing fast-while much-hyped renewables are causing skyrocketing electricity prices and increased blackouts.

Fact: Fossil-fueled development has brought global poverty to an all-time low.

Fact: While fossil fuels have contributed to the 1 degree of warming in the last 170 years, climate-related deaths are at all-time lows thanks to fossil-fueled development.

What does the future hold? In Fossil Future, Epstein, applying his distinctive "human flourishing framework" to the latest evidence, comes to the shocking conclusion that the benefits of fossil fuels will continue to far outweigh their side effects-including climate impacts-for generations to come. The path to global human flourishing, Epstein argues, is a combination of using more fossil fuels, getting better at "climate mastery," and establishing "energy freedom" policies that allow nuclear and other truly promising alternatives to reach their full long-term potential.

Today's pervasive claims of imminent climate catastrophe and imminent renewable energy dominance, Epstein shows, are based on what he calls the "anti-impact framework"-a set of faulty methods, false assumptions, and anti-human values that have caused the media's designated experts to make wildly wrong predictions about fossil fuels, climate, and renewables for the last fifty years. Deeply researched and wide-ranging, this book will cause you to rethink everything you thought you knew about the future of our energy use, our environment, and our climate.

Über den Autor
Alex Epstein
Zusammenfassung
TIMELY AND URGENT: Since his first day in office, President Joe Biden has made climate policy a central focus of his platform, and conservatives are hungry for counterbalances to climate alarmism.

WELL CONNECTED IN CONSERVATIVE MEDIA CIRCLES: Over the past four years, Epstein has interviewed on major conservative media with people like Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Candace Owens, Steven Crowder, and on Fox News to discuss fossil fuels and energy policy, and Alex can count on them to support the book on their channels.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Epstein speaks frequently at a range of influential companies and conferences, including at Google, Energy Disruptors, Idea City, Harvard Business School and more, and looks forward to picking up where he left off when live events resume post-Covid.
