Alex Epstein Biography
Alex Epstein is a philosopher, author, and energy expert recognized for his contributions to the national debate on fossil fuels and energy policy. As founder and president of the Center for Industrial Progress, Epstein advocates for "human flourishing" as the guiding principle in energy and environmental progress. He studied philosophy and computer science at Duke University and has served as a writer and fellow at the Ayn Rand Institute, as well as an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute.
Epstein is the author of "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels," which appeared on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. His subsequent book, "Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas—Not Less," expands on his arguments in support of fossil fuels. Epstein acknowledges that climate change is largely human-caused but contends that the use of fossil fuels does not pose an existential threat to humanity. He maintains that fossil fuels have contributed to improvements in human well-being, including life expectancy and access to clean water.
Epstein has spoken at Fortune 500 companies and universities such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Duke, addressing topics related to energy policy, climate change, and environmental issues. He has debated representatives from organizations including Greenpeace, Sierra Club, and 350.org on the morality of fossil fuel use. Epstein has testified before the U.S. Senate, including the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, and has been invited to speak at congressional hearings and other public events.
As a consultant, Epstein works with political offices and organizations on pro-energy and pro-freedom messaging. He is the creator of EnergyTalkingPoints.com, a resource for energy, environmental, and climate policy talking points. His Substack newsletter analyzes energy, environmental, and climate issues from a pro-freedom perspective. Through his books, public debates, and policy work, Epstein has established a reputation as a prominent voice in the energy industry, challenging prevailing perspectives on fossil fuels and environmental policy.

Alex Epstein Speaking Topics
In this talk, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein will make the case that if we look at not just the negative side-effects of fossil fuels but also their benefits, humanity should actually use more fossil fuels in the decades to come.
While the media today claim that we are in the midst of both a “renewable revolution” and “climate emergency,” reality proves the opposite.
- Fact: Fossil fuels are still the dominant source of energy around the world, and growing fast—while much-hyped renewables are causing skyrocketing electricity prices and increased blackouts.
- Fact: Fossil-fueled development has brought global poverty to an all-time low.
- Fact: While fossil fuels have contributed to the 1 degree of warming in the last 170 years, climate-related deaths are at all-time lows thanks to fossil-fueled development.
Today’s pervasive claims of imminent climate catastrophe and imminent renewable energy dominance, Epstein will argue, are based on faulty thinking methods, false assumptions, and anti-human values.
The path to global human flourishing, Epstein will argue, is a combination of using more fossil fuels, getting better at “climate mastery,” and establishing “energy freedom” policies that allow nuclear and other truly promising alternatives to reach their full long-term potential.
