That context is the history of fossil fuels and how important they are to allowing humans to flourish on this otherwise inhospitable planet. That’s why Epstein makes the case that we should be using more oil, coal, and natural gas—not less.

Hope you had a Happy Independence Day weekend from the entire team at The Nation Speaks!
