Summary

On this episode, Will sits down with Energy Expert and Founder of the Center for Industrial Progress, Alex Epstein, to discuss his new book, Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas - Not Less. Epstein discusses why he believes the mainstream narrative on fossil fuels is fundamentally wrong, and why in order for civilization to flourish as much as possible, near-term reliance on fossil fuels is a must.
