Fakta

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I will argue that more fossil fuel use will not only help alleviate climate change, but also make the world a better place. Fossil fuels provide 80 percent of the world’s energy, and without them, millions of people would be left in poverty.

#2 The argument that more fossil fuel use is good and should be supported, and that eliminating fossil fuel use is bad and should be opposed, is completely contradictory to what experts say: that we need to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use and reach net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 at the latest.

#3 The second factor is that the supposedly expert policy of rapidly eliminating fossil fuel use involves an extremely radical and potentially disastrous change in how we use energy. Without reliable electricity, hospitals will be unable to conduct tests, use vaccines and antibiotics that require refrigeration, or plan surgeries.

#4 The tragedy of babies dying for lack of the energy needed to power ultrasound machines and incubators occurs every day in the many parts of the world without affordable, reliable energy. If we join the movement to rapidly eliminate fossil fuels, we will absolutely have blood on our hands.
