DESCRIPTION:
But now the leaders of the world's most prosperous and advanced nations are determined to undo it.The ability to harness the enormous energy packed into fossil fuelscoal, oil, and natural gasmeant that for the first time, most human beings could enjoy a life that was not "poor, nasty, brutish, and short." Virtually all the necessities of lifefood, heat, clothing, shelterdepend on the conversion of energy. The Paris Agreement of 2015 embodies their goal of an unprecedented regression to the limited horizons of preindustrial societies.Exposing the madness of the green war on abundant energy, the economic and energy experts Stephen Moore and Kathleen Hartnett White explain: Why the idea of replacing fossil fuel energy
Two Stars J. Maj Great thesis but unbelievably repetitious and poorly written.. those who are sincerely interested in becoming better educated about the topic and having an honest discussion Rick P. A well researched, logical review of anthropogenic climate change. While many want to avoid scientific debate, facts and historical data in their opposition to carbon-based fuels or claim the "science is settled" and demean those with differing views, those who are sincerely interested in becoming better educated about the topic and having an honest discussion should read t. Know the arguments re energy sufficiency; Read this book: there's a reason that gasoline is 2.93/gallon in highly regulated San Diego, California for premium (91 octane) cheapest I could find here; no less (veteran's day 2016); you will know why America massively decided to change from the policies of the last 8 years.More jobs, reduced national debt, more oil and natural gas than Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, China
Yet, highly politicized climate policies are pushing a grand-scale shift to unreliable, impractical, incredibly expensive, and far less efficient energy sources. In Fueling Freedom, energy experts Stephen Moore and Kathleen Hartnett White make an unapologetic case for fossil fuels, turning around progressives' protestations to prove that if fossil fuel energy is supplanted by "green" alternatives for political reasons, humanity will take a giant step backwards and the planet will be less safe, less clean, and less free.. Fossil fuel energy is the lifeblood of the modern world. But with the ability to harness the energy in oil and other fossil fuels, quality of life and capacity for progress increased exponentially. Before the Industrial Revolution, humanity depended on burning wood and candle wax. Thanks to incredible innovations in the energy industry, fossil fuels are as promising, safe, and clean an energy resource as has ever existed in history. Today, "fossil fuel" has become such a dirty word that even fossil fuel companies feel compelled to apologize for their products
