Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. 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.
