Alex Epstein, author of Fossil Future and The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, joins us for a reality check on fossil fuels. Many Americans have been convinced by radical environmentalists that fossil fuels are bad, if not inherently evil, and that supporting oil and gas is equivalent to supporting the environmental destruction of our planet. Alex joins us to explain why supporting fossil fuels and supporting the environment are not mutually exclusive, and how fossil fuels have contributed to human flourishing.
