In his new book, Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas—Not Less, Alex Epstein makes the case for reliable, affordable energy. Critical for global development, Epstein argues that the benefits of fossil fuels to society, particularly to the least well-off, categorically outweigh the costs and pave the path for viable, alternative energy sources in the future.
One of the biggest attacks on fossil fuel use today comes from the corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) movement, which seeks to enshrine the elimination of all fossil fuels as an overriding corporate goal. Please join CEI for a book forum with author Alex Epstein in conversation with CEI expert Richard Morrison.
