Fossil Future

In Fossil Future , philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein draws on the latest data and new insights to challenge everything you thought you knew about the future of energy. He 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. Epstein comes to the conclusion that the benefits of fossil fuels will continue to far outweigh their side effects—including climate impacts—for generations to come. Fossil Future will cause you to rethink everything you thought you knew about the future of our energy use, our environment, and our climate.
