Alex is preeminently endowed with incisive understanding and depth of knowledge, combining history with science and economics, explained in an intuitive compelling way I've not seen in anyone else. He truly is an heroic voice for the cause of human advancement. I wish him much continued success.

I love this guy, clear sane thinking.

Alex has a really great ability to keep his attention and focus on the big picture and the most fundamental and consequential issues. I like how he's answers questions in very positive ways that promote discussion rather than promote anxiety and anger thru insults or sarcasm. Ultimately, his honesty really stands out above everything.

I lean left on most things, but i am more likely to listen to Alex than anyone on the left now. He can make an argument like an adult. The left has lost it's mind.

25:24 As someone who works in the solar industry it was very hard to learn that the group I decided to align with was anti-human. But being able to step back and do unbiased research there is no other conclusion. What Alex is saying is true. I hope the girl in this exchange see's this one day.

That young woman who interrupted to tell Alex how to conduct his lecture/Q&A was extremely rude. Either a professor needed to tell her to shut up, or she needed to be escorted out.

At 14:44, Alex should have pointed to the history of failed predictions of top oil, coal, etc. instead of asking the student for the statistics.

Is every coughing audience member given his own private microphone set to "10"?

Was trying to get offshore wind developed offshore N.E. and the biggest group preventing it was the environmentalist.

I don't want to be that guy. I hate that guy... but... FIRST!!!

I recently published a rebuttal to Alex Epstein's book titled "The Immorality of Arguing That There's a Moral Case for Fossil Fuels." At the same time it also rebuts a book by Kathleen Hartnett White of a similar title and proposition. It is preposterous to claim that there is anything moral about fossil fuels, and to claim that we owe any debt of gratitude to gasoline/diesel/coal for enhancing our lives. If a debt of gratitude is owed, it is owed to the inventions that utilize various fuels...regardless of what those fuels are. The inventions were all created without consideration to any specific fossil fuel. Internal combustion engines, for example, were created before the invention of either gasoline or diesel petroleum fuel. The steam engine was not created because coal was available. The fact is that fossil fuels have been the cause of wars, disease, and ecological and environmental disasters. Every significant war in the past 104 years has been caused by petroleum oil. Tens of millions of people; no, make that hundreds of millions of people have been killed in these wars. To the war dead-toll we have to add the people who have died as a result of the illnesses caused by the use of petroleum oil fuels. Then there's the life-long injuries and disabilities suffered by untold millions more. There's nothing moral about any of this. Previous attempts to rebuke Mr. Epstein and Ms. White, such as the one written by Jody Freeman, have failed because the writers have little understanding of the issues.
