The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Alex Epstein: A Book Tales Presentation

We all know that fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas are harming us, the environment and the stability of our future planet. America is one of the leaders in fossil fuel usage and as a nation we have accepted the common narrative that fossil fuels are dirty and destructive. Our only excuse is that it raises our standard of living and makes our wealth and way of life possible. But what if everything we know about fossil fuels is wrong? More importantly, what if both sides of this argument are wrong? This book will shed light on both sides of the argument in a way that, until now, no one has. By taking the reader into the making of fossil fuels like coal and oil, as well as clean energy producers like wind mills and solar panels, a reader will put down the book having all the critical facts in order to make a clear decision for themselves. Though the book is titled “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels,” it does not neglect the negative side effects of the product. Epstein points out negatives we don’t think about. But he also presents all the positives in a way that has never been presented by either the left or the right in politics and in science.
