Today I am releasing a new whitepaper on the challenges the fossil fuel industry faces with its millennial workers. Here’s a summary. Millennial workers are the future of the fossil fuel industry, and they are extremely concerned with the moral meaning of their work. Unfortunately for the industry, these millennials have been exposed to hundreds of hours of claims that their work is immoral because it is destroying the planet. While many companies are ignoring this challenge and others regard it as insurmountable, in my experience it is possible to overcome the “moral case against fossil fuels” and turn non-supporters into supporters. The key to turning non-supporters into supporters is to reframe moral …

On Sunday morning, I was on Fox & Friends (watch here) to discuss criticism at the G20 summit of President Trump’s decision to leave the Paris Climate Accord. I got very positive feedback (except about the lighting on my end, which I will fix next time). Here is a key part: Host: If you listen to leaders of other countries, they say America’s being left behind, we’re on the sidelines. Would you call it that, or would you say that …

Over the last decade I have tried to create the best materials available on the moral case forfossil fuels. The result is hundreds of articles, interviews, debates, speeches, and audio. Now you can access the best of this material in one free guide, “The Best of Alex Epstein,” including: My 2-page summary of the The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels My favorite Forbes columns organized by …

We recently surveyed 735 members of the public who are familiar with my work, but who are not part of the fossil fuel industry, and asked them: “On a scale of 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely) how would you rate yourself before and after encountering Alex Epstein’s work on fossil fuels?” The results were striking: 40% increase in interest in …

If you follow the energy debate at all, you’ve probably heard some version of the following: “It’s a lost cause.” “People don’t change their minds about fossil fuels.” “People are too stupid/irrational/emotional to understand the case for fossil fuels.” When I started writing about energy over 10 years ago, I wanted to offer people the most effective, persuasive materials in the moral …

This week I had the opportunity to discuss President Trump’s decision to pull out of theParis Climate Accord with radio host Mike Slater. As I explain in the interview, the ParisClimate Accord is a deadly non–solution to a non–problem: The Accord would have robbed millions of access to energy, including the energy that allows us to cope with a naturally dangerous climate It would have done nothing to avoid the climate catastrophe that supporters think fossil fuels are creating And there is no evidence that the CO2 impact is catastrophic The interview contains much more, including these kind words from Slater: …
