Today is the third birthday of the Center for Industrial Progress. Each year has felt light-years more advanced than the last, and I hope that continues. If you want to buy us a present, buy the new book for a friend. With more politicians in climate science than scientists, the refining fire of debate has devolved into the burning of heretics. Alex Epstein’s The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels may make your blood boil, but his cool reason and cold, hard facts will lead us beyond hysterics to a much better future.” --Peter Thiel, entrepreneur and investor (cofounder of PayPal) If you want to see the power of fine logic, fine writing, and fine research, read Epsteins book. In my long career, it is simply the best popular-market book about climate, environmental policy, and energy that I have read. Laymen and experts alike will be boggled by Epsteins clarity.” --Patrick J. Michaels, director, Center for the Study of Science, Cato Institute Alex Epstein has written an eloquent and powerful argument for using fossil fuels on moral grounds alone. A remarkable book.” --Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist With this brave and welcome book, Alex Epstein provides a clear, full-throated response to the catastrophists who want us to trash nearly all of our existing energy and power systems and replace them with expensive, incurably intermittent sources like wind and solar. We need more people like Alex who are willing to make the case for hydrocarbons. As Alex shows, those fuels are allowing billions of people to live fuller, freer, healthier lives.” --Robert Bryce, author of Smaller Faster Lighter Denser Cheaper This is the most objective and understandable book written to date on the cost and benefits of fossil fuels as measured by human flourishing. Anyone who is seriously interested in the Climate Change debate should read The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels. --John Allison, Former Chairman and CEO, BB&T amazon/The-Moral-Case-Fossil-Fuels/dp/1591847443
