Alex Epstein gives an overview of his book, “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels,” and brings his Philosophy expertise to break down the Marxist, human-hostile underpinnings of the fringe Green movement.
Best of the Jacki Daily Show. Interviews include Alex Epstein, Author of the Moral Case for Fossil Fuels and Jim Amos, Chairman of Proctor & Gamble's Franchising Division
The host of the Jacki Daily show has had an impressive career in energy, law, and politics.
Most recently, Jacki served as General Counsel to an engineering firm specializing in energy, national security and environmental cleanup. Previously, she served many years as legal counsel on Capitol Hill to the Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and the former Ranking Member of the Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee, advising on the oversight of federal agencies. Prior to her career in Washington, she worked as a corporate litigator, and as an Assistant Vice President for a national bank.
She entered public life at a young age, as a finalist in the Miss Teen of America pageant. She also served as the Public Relations Director for a statewide political organization.
Jacki studied Economics, Spanish, and World History at Marshall University (Society of Yeager Scholars), Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and the University of Zaragoza in Spain. She is an alumna of the Vanderbilt University Law School, where she served as the President of the law school’s Federalist Society chapter.
Jacki has an extensive network in her six overstuffed rolodexes from which the show draws its guests—including industry leaders representing all parts of the energy sector (oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar, and wind), and government officials, journalists, and political insiders. Often, Jacki will know the day’s most-wanted guest and be able to secure the guest with a personal call.
Jacki is from the Ohio River Valley, where the shale runs deep. She descends from a long line of energy workers, including roughnecks, railroaders, coal miners, and nuclear energy specialists.
I vehemently dispute the term “Fossil fuel”.
I stand with you. That is a misleading term.
We’ll have no vehemence here, sir.
The term became popular when the nuclear power folks started pushing their agenda. Having been involved in making steam from darn near anything that could be used to boil water, coal is the most efficient fuel for electrical generation unless you are using a waste product from your own facility to supplement the grid.
