Fossil Future

Alex Epstein’s book “Fossil Future” raises important questions and refutes received knowledge on energy and climate change. Epstein contends that for future generations, the advantages of fossil fuels will continue to much outweigh their drawbacks, including their effects on the environment, by applying his own “human flourishing framework” to the most recent data.

He claims that the world’s primary energy source is still fossil fuels and that they are responsible for the record low level of poverty worldwide. The book explores deeply how our climate, environment, and energy use will change in the future.
