Join us at the Petroleum Museum on April 25th as we partner with the Abell‐Hanger Foundation to welcome philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein for the Arlen Edgar Distinguished Lecture Series. As a Duke‐educated academic who has spoken at dozens of Fortune 500 companies and prominent universities, including Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, Epstein argues that “human flourishing” should be the guiding principle of energy and environmental progress. Alex Epstein will present findings from his book Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas—Not Less. In this talk, 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. 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. Join us for this vital lecture about energy and our future.
