Every day we hear politicians, mainstream media, and environmental activists attacking our most abundant and reliable energy sources — coal, oil, and natural gas. These fossil fuels are supposedly ruining our health and destroying the environment. We are told over and over that catastrophic climate change awaits if we don’t quickly move away from hydrocarbon sources of power.

But none of this is true. Fossil fuels have revolutionized human existence, making us more healthy, wealthy, and better educated than ever before. And to top it off, the widespread use of fossil fuels makes us better stewards of the natural environment. 

No one is better at making this crucially important point than this week’s guest, philosopher, and energy expert, Alex Epstein. Alex argues that “human flourishing” should be the guiding principle of energy and environmental progress. He is the author of the new book Fossil Future and the New York Times bestseller The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. He is also the creator of EnergyTalkingPoints.com, a source of powerful, well-referenced talking points on energy, environmental and climate issues.

Alex has made his moral case for fossil fuels at dozens of campuses, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Duke (his alma mater). He has also spoken to employees and leaders at dozens of Fortune 500 companies.

To learn why the benefits of increasing fossil fuel use far outweigh any conceivable negative impacts, join Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris this week with our guest Alex Epstein. This is a show no one should miss!

First, CO2 is a trace gas – 0.04% of the atmosphere. Second, only 3% is man-made; 97% is from nature, and of that 3%, the US accounts for 14%. You do the math: 0.000168 percent of the atmosphere is CO2 from the U.S. and theoretically available for “reduction.” Sheer lunacy.

Third, from a geological perspective, due to sequestration of carbon dioxide by coral and other hard-bodied animals who use it to make calcium carbonate shells, we are at a CO2 atmospheric low point -> 400 parts per million – extremely low, and near the 150 ppm threshold for die-off of plants – which, by the way, produce 100% of the oxygen that keeps all animals, including humans, alive.

So our “leaders” – innocent of the most basic science – and more importantly, math – skills plan to turn the world’s economy upside down and LITERALLY starve millions of people, in service to a cadre of lunatics who don’t know what they are talking about. Uh-huh.

God help us. There is a confrontation coming, and I just don’t see any way to avoid it.
