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].
Hi Alex, I really like this article. I share it all the time. However, if I try to share using the blue "Share" button, it provides a link to a different article - pro human policy
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 ;)
I think you did a great job! Can I share this publicly? I may have one or two suggestions re: the linking terms.
Thanks, Alex! Yes, of course, that would be great. Drop me a line: thomas (at) eventignite.co.uk and I will make the edits.
Tom, just found you amazing "mindmup", for which I thank you!
I look forward to seeing this amazing resource being broadly publicized by Alex.
Thanks, Luca
Love your work.

Or like my old uncle used to say, “like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest”!
