Updates: Mike Rowe appearance, I'm hiring, and comments on the new energy cabinet
My latest public discussions about energy policy, plus an opportunity to join my team
My conversation with Mike Rowe
New: I went on Mike Rowe’s podcast to discuss a wide range of topics: fossil fuels, climate mastery, persuasion, environmental philosophy, my favorite kind of vacation, and whether I’m “disagreeable.” Here’s the podcast version (note that I did not choose this title!) and the YouTube version, which already has over 300,000 views.

Comments on the new energy cabinet
Last week I went on the Fox Business show Making Money with Charles Payne to discuss President Trump’s early executive orders on energy and the cabinet members charged with executing America’s new energy policy. Watch the full video here:

Alex, congratulations. Your years-long work is finally "breaking out" into mainstream thinking. It's too early to declare victory, but the increasing acceptance of your ideas must be considered a significant step forward.
I'm disheartened by Alex's condoning and sharing the President's misuse of the word "emergency" to take actions that he could not otherwise lawfully take. Words have meanings. Those who condone such arrogation of power when the power is used to justify actions that we agree with are short-sighted.
Note: I'm a paid subscriber to this substack and, generally, a supporter of Alex's work.
Note: New Oxford American dictionary -- emergency: a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate action.
