For decades, environmentalists have told vis that us-
ing fossil fix els is a self-destructive addiction that will
destroy our planet. Yet at the same time, by every
measure of human well-being, from life expectancy
to clean water to climate safety, life has been getting
better and better.
The explanation, energy expert Alex Epstein
argues in JXÆoral Case Jor՜ JFbssif is that we
usually hear only one side of the story. Were taught
to think only of the negatives of fossil fuels, their
risks and side effects, but not their positives-their
unique ability to provide cheap, reliable energy for
a world of seven billion people. And the moral sig-
nificance of cheap, reliable energy, Epstein argues,
is woefully underrated. Energy is our ability to im-
prove every single aspect of life, whether economic
or environmental.
If we look at the ¿ ig pictztre of fossil fuels com-
pared with the alternatives, the overall impact of
using fossil fuels is to make the world a fax՝ bet-
ter place. We are morally obligated to use more
fossil fuels for the sake of our economy and our
environment.
Drawing on original insights and cutting-edge
research, Epstein argues that most of what we hear
about fossil fuels is a myth. For instance . . .
Myth: Fossil fuels are dirty.
Truth: The environmental benefits of using fossil
fuels far outweigh the risks. Fossil fuels dont take a
naturally clean environment and make it dirty; they
take a naturally dirty environment and make it clean.
They don’t take a naturally safe climate and make it
dangerous; they take a naturally dangerous climate
and make it ever safer.
