A sure-to-be-controversial defense of the? fossil fuel industry Conventional wisdom says fossil fuels are an unsustainable?form of energy that is destroying our?planet. But Alex Epstein shows that if we look at?the big picture, the much-hated fossil fuel industry?is dramatically improving our planet by making it a?far safer and richer place. The key difference between a healthy and?unhealthy environment, Epstein argues, is?development?the transformation of nature to?meet human needs. And the energy required for development?is overwhelmingly made possible by the?fossil fuel industry, the only way to produce cheap,?plentiful, reliable energy on a global scale. While acknowledging the challenges of fossil?fuels (and every form of energy), Epstein argues?that the overall benefits, including the largely ignored?environmental benefits, are incomparably?greater.
