Alex Epstein interviews Matt Ridley on the topic of “how energy innovation works.” Drawing from Ridley’s new book, “How Innovation Works,” they discuss:
-Why Ridley considers “the conversion of heat to work” to be perhaps the most important innovation.
-The true story of innovation in fracking and why the conventional narrative about it being a government-led innovation is false.
-Why there’s so little innovation in nuclear–and what to do about it.
-Why freedom is crucial to innovation.
