Ep 44 Alex Epstein, Energy, Fossil Fuels & Human Flourishing. Wake Up Podcast

On Episode 44, I’m pleased to host Alex Epstein.

Philosopher, energy expert, author of the Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, founder of the centre for industrial progress.

We get into a whole lot of philosophy on this episode and wrap it up with a discussion about energy.

We take a deep dive into the psychology of the green movement and the anti-human movement.

Why are we packaging the anti-human with the positive elements of sustainability

We discuss objectivism and Ayn Rand’s work.

The jungle, the concrete jungle & the garden.

The moral case for Fossil Fuels. At a high level.

Energy density

Environmental Damage done with renewables

Average rate of return for energy input into renewables

Energy independence with “renewables”. Myth or fact?

Self sufficiency with fossil fuels. How ?

Efficiency with fossil fuel innovation

What do we need to work on?

We didn’t get into where nuclear fits in, but you’ll get the picture.

I took a moment to tie Bitcoin to energy (because it IS energy money), and make clear that in tying money to unforgeable energy, we root it in physical laws and therefore make impossible the waste, capital and innovation misallocation that’s the real core issue in the world today.

This is why bitcoin fixes this.
