Ep. 11 Alex Epstein: On the Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, Renewable Energy, and Green Deceptions
Manage episode 412599979 series 3530014
Green activists want to BAN fossil fuels. I wish they’d listen to energy author Alex Epstein.
He explains how fossil fuels make the world better, and how banning them ruins lives.
How can fossil fuels be “moral" when activists tell us, “keep it in the ground?"
Because:
“3 billion people …. still use less electricity than a typical American refrigerator” says Epstein.
To allow them to have a modern life, “that's going to depend on fossil fuels.”
But what about pollution and climate change?
I push back throughout this podcast.
