Finishing up Alex Epstein's "Fossil Future" which is extremely helpful in providing a comprehensive understanding of energy sources (benefits/costs) as well as reframing the energy/climate change discussion. Most notably, it lays bare the myopic "Zero Net Use" carbon argument and how "luxury belief" virtue signaling, first-world "ESG LARPers" (ht Marty Dent) prevent billions of our fellow human beings from pulling themselves up out of poverty. This is seen in IMF/developmental loans mandating inconsistent, expensive "green energy" and preventing the use of the same Fossil Fuel that built the first-world's climate-controlled, high-energy comfortable lifestyles. Glad to see Bitcoin add incentivizing decentralized energy development to it's myriad of other positive impacts on our world...
