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 unrivalled ability to provide low-cost, reliable energy to billions of people around the world, especially the world's poorest people. 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, and growing fast - while much-hyped renewables are causing skyrocketing electricity prices and increased blackouts. Fact: Fossil-fuelled development has brought global poverty to an all-time low. Fact: While fossil fuels have contributed to the 1 degree of warming in the last 170 years, climate-related deaths are at all-time lows thanks to fossil-fuelled development. What does the future hold? In Fossil Future, Epstein, applying his distinctive 'human flourishing framework' to the latest evidence, comes to the shocking conclusion that the benefits of fossil fuels will continue to far outweigh their side effects - including climate impacts - for generations to come.
