Fossil fuel energy is the lifeblood of the modern world. Before the Industrial Revolution, humanity depended on burning wood and candle wax. But with the ability to harness the energy in oil and other fossil fuels, quality of life and capacity for progress increased exponentially. Thanks to incredible innovations in the energy industry, fossil fuels are as promising, safe, and clean an energy resource as has ever existed in history. Yet, highly politicized climate policies are pushing a grand-scale shift to unreliable, impractical, incredibly expensive, and far less efficient energy sources. Today, "fossil fuel" has become such a dirty word that even fossil fuel companies feel compelled to apologize for their products. In Fueling Freedom, energy experts Stephen Moore and Kathleen Hartnett White make an unapologetic case for fossil fuels, turning around progressives' protestations to prove that if fossil fuel energy is supplanted by "green" alternatives for political reasons, humanity will take a giant step backwards and the planet will be less safe, less clean, and less free.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

The past two centuries witnessed the most astonishing leap in human welfare in history. But now the leaders of the world's most prosperous and advanced nations are determined to undo it.

The ability to harness the enormous energy packed into fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—meant that for the first time, most human beings could enjoy a life that was not "poor, nasty, brutish, and short." Virtually all the necessities of life—food, heat, clothing, shelter—depend on the conversion of energy. It was the transition from muscle, wind, and wood to fossil fuels as the chief source of that energy that gave us modern life.

Incredibly enough, throwing that all away is now considered a serious national policy.

Radical environmentalists have convinced many of the global elite that the greatest threat to mankind is climate change produced by the burning of fossil fuels—a view that has hardened into a ferociously enforced dogma. The Paris Agreement of 2015 embodies their goal of an unprecedented regression to the limited horizons of preindustrial societies.

Exposing the madness of the green war on abundant energy, the economic and energy experts Stephen Moore and Kathleen Hartnett White explain:

Why the idea of replacing fossil fuel energy with the medieval technologies of wind, solar power, and biomass is a dangerous fantasy
How recent technological breakthroughs have made our supply of oil and gas virtually unlimited, exploding the myth of “peak oil”
Why the cruel green agenda will keep billions of people in grinding poverty and threatens the world with mass starvation
The value of the energy underneath federal lands and waters is at least $50 trillion
With a pro-America energy policy, the U.S. could be energy independent by the year 2020

The world faces a stark choice between unprecedented prosperity fueled by abundant energy or self-inflicted poverty. The stakes are higher than you think.

George Mears

If you can only read one book explaining the moral arguments for fossil fuel use vs the false claims by renewables, this is it!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

Finally, Ms. White, former head of the largest environmental oversight organization behind the Federal EPA, collaborates with the former chief economics writer for the WSJ to clearly articulate why renewables are not interchangeable with fossil fuels and will never be until technological hurdles are overcome --likely many years from today--that permits diffuse, unpredictable, absurdly expensive, and low quality solar and wind energy to be economically stored in amounts needed to meet demands even on a supplemental basis. I first heard Kathleen White present her paper on The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels at a climate conference in 2014. But in working with Scott Moore to tie in the economics and human behavior with her extensive science of energy and climate background, this duo presents the most compelling arguments to both continue and expand the wide use of fossil fuels--most especially in the developing world and discontinuing massive subsidies to solar and gas immediately because none of the Green industry claims are true! Using government numbers, these authors show that foe every dollar spent in coal, oil, and gas that provides the vast majority of US electrical power, our government is handing out $755 to solar--and has been for decades and yet solar STILL isn't economically viable! A must read for policy makers and easily understood by most educated people!

A Must Read for our Political Leaders

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book should be mandatory reading for every member of Congress. Most people don't know but from 2008 to 2013 America became the #1 country with the most energy deposits (thanks to the discovery of shale extraction). The book rightly asserts that we could accomplish the following things with the new amount of oil and natural gas that is right under our feet:

1) make it harder for terrorist groups to make money on oil
2) lift up a billion people worldwide out of poverty - this year by providing cheap sustainable energy (coal, natural gas, electricity)
3) create over 5 million new jobs in the U.S.
4) pay of our 18 trillion dollar debt
5) have zero effect on climate change/global warming

People need to read this book to get a clear understanding what fossil fuels really are and why "renewables" aren't a good source of energy right now. Great book, easy to follow, important to know. I would ask any of my friends who are worried about climate change to try living with only renewable energy for one week. Go ahead, try it. Then you will understand that we are truly fortunate to have what we have under our feet.

Charles F. Shaw, Jr.

Perfectly timed for the debate on a much needed new pro-America energy development strategy.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Stephen Moore and Kathleen Hartnett White’s timely book provides a primer on the nature of energy, and exposes the irony of the recent developments by independent oil men in the private sector who have developed advanced oil and gas recovery techniques that have added up to $50 trillion to the value of our nation’s fossil fuel reserves. The irony is, in the same period, the leftist global elite have been aggressively seeking control of the nation’s energy sector under the ruse of global warming and alternative energy subsidy schemes that have wasted billions and, in Europe, raised the price of electricity several times to become a burden for industry, the middle classes, and especially the poor. The plunge in oil and gas prices has undermined alternative energy from wind and solar power to have caused serious economic damage to many European nations. The authors argue it is not too late for America to achieve real energy independence by pursuing a pro-America energy development strategy by exploiting these abundant, affordable, controllable, reliable, and versatile fossil fuel reserves to drive economic prosperity.

Thought-provoking book on the benefits of fossil fuels

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

The authors, Kathleen Hartnett White and Steve Moore, provide a thorough historical and economic perspective on the benefit of fossil fuels.

By taking a deep look into the efficiency of energy sources and costs of producing them, the authors show that fossil fuels are the lifeblood of the US economy. This really started around the time of the Industrial Revolution, which the authors connect with the rise of fossil fuels as a primary factor that drives economic prosperity.

Many countries and politicians have tried to move away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources, but these are less efficient and more costly forms of energy that will bankrupt a country and leave a population poorer. Instead, politicians should embrace fossil fuels as the path towards prosperity that is met with the elimination of market distorting subsidies for all energy sources and less government regulation, including allowing drilling on federal lands.

This is a though-provoking book that should be read by all. There's much that we can learn from the benefits of fossil fuels.

Know the arguments re energy sufficiency;

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

Read this book: there's a reason that gasoline is 2.93/gallon in highly regulated San Diego, California for premium (91 octane) cheapest I could find here; no less (veteran's day 2016); you will know why America massively decided to change from the policies of the last 8 years.
More jobs, reduced national debt, more oil and natural gas than Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, China and OPEC, combined is the claim. That is with existing technologies.

Verified Purchase

A well researched, logical review of anthropogenic climate change. While many want to avoid scientific debate, facts and historical data in their opposition to carbon-based fuels or claim the "science is settled" and demean those with differing views, those who are sincerely interested in becoming better educated about the topic and having an honest discussion should read this book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

Moore brings energy issues to the fundamental & everyday level. His comparison of the pro & con of "green energy" and that of fossil fuels is laid out in a comprehensive yet compelling way that would peak the interest of the most un-initiated. Must read for those who instinctively know that "medieval wind energy" is a waste--but can't explain why(especially chapters 8&9).
