The 2020 presidential election is looking to have a big impact on energy policy in the United States.

When it comes to energy and the environment and being able to understand both the positive and negative effects, it is important to look at the data in an objective manner. And this is exactly where this week's guest comes in.

Alex Epstein is a philosopher who argues that "human flourishing" should be the guiding principle of industrial and environmental progress.

He founded the Center for Industrial Progress in 2011 to offer a positive, pro-human alternative to the Green movement.

Alex is the author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, a New York Times bestseller who argues that if we look at the big picture, human flourishing requires that we use MORE fossil fuels not less. The book has been widely praised as the most persuasive argument ever made for our continuing use of fossil fuels.

Most recently, Alex created the website EnergyTalkingPoints.com to provide true, powerful, and succinct talking points on this year's most important energy, environmental, and climate issues.

I'm extremely excited to welcome Tim Pawul with the Oil & Gas Council and the host of the Minerals & Royalties Podcast to our show. His podcast features interviews with some of the leading CEOs & Investors in the minerals & royalties space with the ultimate purpose to educate investors on the space, thus equipping them with the knowledge base needed to become public investors, private investors, and end-buyers.

We've talked previously on the show about how mineral buyers underwrite deals and what their thoughts are on the market. Tim is very tied in to the minerals & royalties market through his interactions with leaders of mineral companies both big and small. This conversation was really interesting as Tim gives an overview of the conversations he's having with these senior leaders and what they are thinking about the minerals market following the oil war and in a post-COVID world. We talk about how buyers have changed the way the underwrite deals given all the uncertainties in the market, to the types of deals that are still closing and where Tim sees the biggest opportunities right now.
