For anyone interested in this topic I would recommend reading "The moral case for fossil fuels". It gives a big picture look of this problem in the context of human flourishing. As someone who had only ever been exposed to the gloom and doom predictions like this article it was a refreashingly clearly thought and precisely structured counter argument.
- Analemma_ 10y agoI looked up that book's author, it's a guy named Alex Epstein. Who is he? > Alex Epstein is an American author, energy theorist and industrial policy pundit. He is the founder and President of the Center for Industrial Progress, a for-profit think tank located in Laguna Hills, California, and a former fellow of the Ayn Rand Institute. Sounds like a reliable source to me!
