"Almost everybody now agrees that humanity should wean itself off fossil fuels and fast. But what if almost everybody is wrong...? Alex Epstein is to be commended for making a brave, unfashionable argument and making it well." - @mattwridley https://t.co/G6o8FU0Gnp — PolitiTweet.org

@elonmusk @ScottAdamsSays The real risk is restricting fossil fuel use before there is a scalable replacement, in a world where most people are desperately energy-poor. This deadly “energy denial” strategy has caused a global energy crisis. https://t.co/ec2zKvNAp3 — PolitiTweet.org

The proper response to the gas-stove-banners? Tell them that you are interested in an valid science they want to offer you voluntarily—but that you will fight them to the death when they use pseudoscience to take away our freedom to produce and use energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein

One of the biggest threats to our health is the use of pseudoscientific "health" claims about the side-effects of fossil fuels in order to deprive us of the life-and-health-saving benefits of fossil fuels—including abundant, affordable healthy food and modern medicine. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein

Anti-fossil-fuel activists have jumped on the opportunity to stir up panic about gas stoves. One parroted the "12.7%" fabrication, then ran a viral self-experiment finding his emissions above recommended levels. His "solution" is not better ventilation but forcing his agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein

The CDC's latest asthma surveillance shows that the most important factors in asthma prevalence are *income* and ethnicity—with ethnicity likely being another income indicator. As usual, wealth is health. Decreasing wealth via anti-fossil-fuel policies is anti-health. https://t.co/Ds32sekPsf — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein

Observe the trend of the anti-fossil-fuel movement telling us we need to electrify everything *and* opposing reliable electricity sources. A crucial protection against this is the *right to use non-electric devices*: cars, heaters, and stoves. We must fight for this protection. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein

Natural gas is completely crucial to our prosperity and therefore our health. Gas is our leading source of electricity *and* provides vital energy for heating and for gas stoves. Anti-gas policies thus make us more dependent on electricity that is more expensive and unreliable. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein

Opponents of fossil fuels consistently commit the same fallacy: they argue for restrictions or bans on fossil fuels by ignoring the enormous benefits of FFs and *catastrophizing* FFs’ negative side-effects. Their latest effort is focused on life-giving natural gas. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein

The lead author of the paper used to argue for a gas stove ban is affiliated with the @RockyMtnInst, headed by Amory Lovins—an anti-energy "energy expert" who has said: "It would be little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy". https://t.co/T1mAI427qW — PolitiTweet.org
