Alex Epstein Quotes
The natural environment is not particularly hospitable to human life ... the key to having a good environment is improving it through work... Energy is fundamentally an environmental improver and if we classify it that way it makes sense out of a lot of these controversies...It's our obligation and our right to make our environment as good for human beings as possible. With that view, it's very easy for people to understand precisely the reason it's good to alter it - because it doesn't naturally come the way we need it to be.
