If you’re interested in energy and environmental issues, especially climate change, have a look at this 15-minute appearance by Alex Epstein before the Senate Environment and Public Works committee. In a pressure-cooker atmosphere, he argues persuasively for the benefits of fossil fuels and for a sensible approach to climate issues.
I also highly recommend his book, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. He reasons carefully about fossil fuels, alternative energy, and climate change.

I love how he says Germans made up a new word to describe their situation. German is such a curious language.
“A *philosopher*?! How dare you even have such a job!”
I wish he had responded to Boxer’s question with “are you?” I’m still shuddering at such blatant anti-intellectualism.
