Fueling Freedom

>The ability to harness the enormous energy packed into fossil fuels--coal, oil, and natural gas--meant 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 life--food, heat, clothing, shelter--depend on the conversion of energy. It was the transition from muscle, wind, and wood to fossil fuels as the chief source of that energy that gave us modern life. Incredibly enough, throwing that all away is now considered a serious national policy. Radical environmentalists have convinced many of the global elite that the greatest threat to mankind is climate change produced by the burning of fossil fuels--a view that has hardened into a ferociously enforced dogma. 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 with the medieval technologies of wind, solar power, and biomass is a dangerous fantasy How recent technological breakthroughs have made our supply of oil and gas virtually unlimited, exploding the myth of "peak oil" Why the cruel green agenda will keep billions of people in grinding poverty and threatens the world with mass starvation The value of the energy underneath federal lands and waters is at least $50 trillion>The world faces a stark choice between unprecedented prosperity fueled by abundant energy or self-inflicted poverty. The stakes are higher than you think.
