Part 2: Deciding to become an energy expert My favorite subjects to apply philosophy to are 1) hugely consequential for human life and 2) being thought about in a very wrong way. In 2007, at age 27, I realized that energy policy met both criteria. — PolitiTweet.org

In my early career as a freelancer and in the think-tank world, I wrote articles applying philosophy to every conceivable subject: healthcare, economics, foreign policy, biotech, etc. But I never found a subject that I wanted to become an expert in—until I found energy. — PolitiTweet.org

I realized that energy policy is incredibly consequential because the more cost-effective energy is, the more human beings can use machines to be productive and prosperous. The less cost-effective energy is, the more human beings must use manual labor—which dooms them to poverty. — PolitiTweet.org
