If you know you are going to buy my book Fossil Future, please preorder it now.

I know preordering can be annoying, but it will help convince my publisher to do a very big first printing--which is necessary to avoid massive shortages.

Incentives below
👇👇👇 "The climate debate ig...
If you preorder Fossil Future you'll get
1. Access to my exclusive live event "How to Talk to Anyone About Climate Change"
2. My 10-page "Alex Notes" book summary
3. 6-month premium subscription to Energy Talking Points ($50 value)

Just send receipt to assistant@alexepstein.com
If you commit to making a bulk purchase (100 or more) of Fossil Future, I'll send you a signed bookplate for every book.

Just DM me how many you're planning on ordering and for what organization, then I'll connect you with a low-cost bulk seller.
My #1 fear about Fossil Future is that once it launches with a huge media campaign *and* blows new readers away, there will be a big shortage that will be hard to remedy given the supply chain crisis.

Please help prevent this by preordering.

Thanks, Sean!

Of course I would love to chat with and/or train with @joerogan sometime.

Also, I'm glad @jordanbpeterson brought attention to the much-neglected issue of indoor air pollution.
As @jordanbpeterson pointed out on @joerogan's show, fossil fuels have actually improved air quality by displacing dirtier fuels. Here's an excerpt from my forthcoming book Fossil Future that quantifies this.
As the US has shown, increasing fossil fuel use is totally compatible with decreasing air pollution.

Why is Europe so vulnerable to Russia and what can we learn from it?

Europe has extreme dependence on Russian natural gas because Europe has foolishly restricted fossil fuel and nuclear energy production on the false promise that unreliable solar and wind could replace it.

🧵👇
As Russia threatens to invade Ukraine, its extreme control over Europe is being revealed to the world.

40% of Europe’s natural gas—which it desperately needs for heating and electricity—comes from Russia.

And Russia has already kept Europe’s natural gas storage at low levels.
Europe’s vulnerability to Russia was completely preventable. Europe and its allies have all the natural gas, coal, and uranium they need to produce low-cost, reliable heat and electricity for generations to come.

But anti-fossil fuel, anti-nuclear policies have neutered Europe.

Last month, President Biden issued an Executive Order that threatens the very existence of our nation.

And yet he has received very little pushback.

Here’s what the Order says and why it’s so scary:
👇 👇 👇
The Biden Administration recently issued an Executive Order that commits the Federal Government to reduce emissions 65% by 2030 and be “net zero” by 2050.

This commitment is suicidal because 3/4 of govt energy use is for defense—and most of that *must* come from fossil fuels.
Our government has a sacred obligation to do everything it can to protect our lives and freedom—including those of our troops. Joe Biden recently violated this obligation flagrantly by committing the Federal government to wildly inferior “net zero” energy sources.

Last month, WV Senator Joe Manchin heroically stopped "Build Back Better" legislation that would have ruined America's and above all WV's economy.

Now The @NYTimes and others are pressuring Manchin to reverse his stance via the false narrative that coal miners support BBB.

🧵
In an effort to undermine Joe Manchin’s opposition to Build Back Better, the @nytimes recently published a "news" article trying to portray @Sen_JoeManchin’s rejection of BBB as opposed to the interest of coal miners by citing a union that represents a small minority of miners.
The @nytimes article by @jonathanweisman, entitled "Manchin’s Choice on Build Back Better: Mine Workers or Mine Owners," cites certain unions supporting BBB, but neglects to mention that less than ¼ of WV’s coal miners are associated with unions. This is journalistic malpractice.

Breaking: A previously-unreleased pro-oil/gas letter sent by @BlackRock to Texas lawmakers and oil/gas executives reveals that the company is simultaneously 1) trying to gain status by supporting anti-oil/gas net zero goals, and 2) trying not to lose any pro-oil/gas investors.
🧵
BlackRock's Larry Fink is the #1 leader in the financial world for the economically baseless idea that the global economy should and will be net-zero by 2050. This idea would mean the rapid and total or near-total destruction of the oil and gas industry.
alexepstein.substack.com/p/the-esg-move…
In response to BlackRock and others advocating anti-oil-and-gas "net zero" policies, TX pension funds have started refusing to do business with anti-oil/gas institutions. BlackRock's response: a covert PR campaign to tell TX lawmakers and oil execs that it's very pro oil/gas!

ESG poses as a moral and financially savvy movement. In reality it is an immoral and financially ruinous movement that is destroying the free world's ability to produce low-cost, reliable energy. This prevents poor countries from developing and threatens America's security.

🧵
Over the last 5-10 years, "ESG"--standing for Environmental Social Governance--has gone from an acronym that virtually no one knew or cared about, to a cultishly-embraced top priority of financial regulators, markets, and institutions around the world.
The preposterous financial pretense of "ESG investing" is that the promoters of it have so accurately identified universal norms of long-term value creation--Environmental norms, Social norms, and Governance norms--that imposing those norms on every company is justified.
