If we want a world in which all 8 billion of us have the opportunity to flourish—to live long, healthy, prosperous, fulfilling lives—we need more, not less, fossil fuel. A summary of Fossil Future.
Comparing two things requires they be judged on the same basic metrics. Clearly solar and wind would not qualify or be in the same category/race as hydrocarbons.
To say we have an alternative plan requires necessarily the plans are on the same footing.
It’s a one legged man [solar & wind] versus a marathon runner [hydrocarbons].

The irrefutable case for a Fossil Future
Thanks Alex - super clear summary! Loved the book and recommended to a few people.
As part of my research into critical thinking tools, I have made a "steelman" of your main claims and mapped them out: https://atlas.mindmup.com/tomwalczak/alex_epstein_the_irrefutable_case_for_/index.html
If you have a minute to skim through and see if I got it right, that would be awesome ;)
Love your work.
