In his new book Fossil Future, Alex Epstein notes that the number of people around the globe dying from climate-related events has plummeted by 98 percent over the past century and that wind and solar comprise just 3 percent of current global energy use. An immediate shift to renewables, he argues, would consign billions to poverty or death in order to stave off the impact of man-made climate change, the consequences of which have often been exaggerated and with which humans are equipped to deal.
Epstein, who is the founder and president of the Center for Industrial Progress tell his side of the story and why he believes "human flourishing requires more oil, coal, and natural gas—not less"
