It's Energy Week at @cosmo_globalist. claireberlinski.substack.com/p/welcome-to-e… This week--all week--we'll be debating the question, "All things considered, what’s the best way to provide energy for the globe’s 7.9 billion people?”

All of our readers are welcome—encouraged—to participate. We’ll be running a number of excellent essays about fossil fuels, nuclear power, and green tech; we’ll be taking all questions from our readers—as well as submissions, should they wish to write at length.

At the end of the week, we’ll wrap it up with a Grand Cosmopolicast Debate ... followed by the announcement of a winner.

We aim to showcase a wide variety of opinions, because we wish not only to discuss energy without partisanship or empty slogans--

--but to demonstrate, conclusively, this point: *contact with an opinion not one’s own will not cause any participant, nor any reader, spontaneously to combust.*

We understand some of you are unsure of this and think it's a crazy risk:

but we are *so confident* that no one will spontaneously combust--indeed, that speech we dislike is *nothing at all* like violence in any way--that we're willing to put our own lives on the line.

Watch us as we entertain views with which we disagree--all day long!

And live to tell the tale!

According to our theory, by the end of the week, we'll all be alive, and indeed, smarter and better for having encountered many different opinions.

If you agree with this theory, join us.
