The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels

Book • 2014
In this book, Alex Epstein presents a case for the moral justification of using fossil fuels, arguing that they are essential for human progress and well-being.

Epstein challenges the prevailing views on climate change and energy policy, suggesting that the benefits of fossil fuels, such as providing low-cost and reliable energy, outweigh their negative impacts.
