Summary:
"What if the 'experts' have gotten everything about the
future
of energy wrong? What if
fossil
fuels are the energy of the
future
- and that's a good thing? 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. 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, while much-hyped renewables are causing skyrocketing electricity prices and increased blackouts. -- Fact: Fossil-fueled development has brought
global
poverty to a record low. -- Fact: While
fossil
fuels have contributed to the 1 degree of warming in the last 170 years, climate-related deaths are at an all-time low. What does the
future
hold? In '
Fossil
Future
,' Epstein, applies his distinctive '
human
flourishing
framework' to the latest evidence and comes to the shocking conclusion that the benefits of
fossil
fuels will far outweigh their side effects for generations to come. The true path to
global
human
flourishing
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 renewable energy dominance are based on what Epstein 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. 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."--Jacket.
