About this episode

Michael Malice interviews Alex Epstein about the impact of fossil fuels and AI on America's future.

Is the biggest lie of the last 50 years about climate, or energy? Michael Malice (“ YOUR WELCOME ”) welcomes Alex Epstein , bestselling author and founder of the Energy Humanist movement, for a conversation that challenges nearly everything you've been told about fossil fuels, climate change, and the future of AI. Alex shares why affordable, abundant energy has made humanity safer and more prosperous than ever, and why abandoning it in the name of climate policy could be one of America's biggest strategic mistakes. As the conversation shifts to AI, Alex makes a point that the real bottleneck isn't smarter software, it's energy. You’ll hear why America can't afford to fall behind, why China certainly won't, and why the biggest question isn't whether AI will change the world, but who will have the power to build it first. https://x.com/AlexEpstein https://alexepstein.substack.com/ https://alexepstein.com/ Pre-Order UNWANTED – A TALE OF THE OLD WEST AND THE NEW WAVE : https://UnwantedBook.com Order THE WHITE PILL : http://whitepillbook.com/ Order THE ANARCHIST HANDBOOK : https://www.amzn.com/B095DVF8FJ Order THE NEW RIGHT : https://amzn.to/2IFFCCu Order DEAR READER…
