This article expounds a Book by Alex Epstein called “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00INIQVJA/ref=cm_sw_su_dp

Alex makes the case that fossil fuels are not causing climate change, and he shows that without fossil fuels we wouldn't enjoy longevity, proper nutrition, proper health, nor safety or a flourishing society.

He points out how silly it is to think we could be fossil fuel free by pointing out the obvious- windmills only work when the wind blows, solar panels are only efficient when the sun shines- and points out the fact that they are not reliable enough to count on.

He dispels the myth that fossil fuels are harmful for the environment, that fossils fuel supplies are -running out- and states that there could be billions of deaths without cheap fossil fuel use-

Alex also points out that the climate hype/alarmist extraordinaire James Hansen has even called the whole climate issue a fraud

Thanks for fixing it mod-

[Farmer Dean]

Without diesel fuel,farming grinds to a halt.Probably 95 percent of the population would starve to death.

[Bob434]

exactly- but the left will argue we should go back to draft horses and mules

The book argues pretty much what you stated- that without fossil fuels, society will not survive well-

[Farmer Dean]

The lefties think you can grow enough vegetables in a window box to survive. Draft horses and mules consume more than half of the food their labor produces. I invite liberals to educate themselves about the reality of food production,their new gods would be John Deere and Samuel McCormick.
