Dr. Peterson’s extensive catalog is now available on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Alex Epstein discuss the undeniable need for fossil fuels, the toxic basic nihilism of the remaining “climate people”, the need to balance between conservation and human progress, and the unexplored potential of wildlife.
Alex Epstein is a philosopher and energy expert who argues that “human flourishing” should be the guiding principle of energy and environmental progress. He is the author of the best-selling new book The Fossil Future: Why Global Human Prosperity Needs More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas—Not Less. He is also the creator of EnergyTalkingPoints.com—a resource for powerful, well-referenced arguments on energy, environmental and climate issues.
