                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 14, 2022

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, I was grateful today to 
attend a presentation by Alex Epstein on Energy Opportunity where he 
fulfilled the introduction of being an ``energy expert and philosopher, 
specializing in how to persuade people to see the truth about energy.''
  His message was a courageous clarion call of sanity in the midst of 
energy policy insanity.
  Alex is author of two of the best-selling energy books of the last 
decade: The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels and Fossil Future: Why Global 
Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas- Not Less.
  The presentation was highlighted by common sense, real world, easily 
understood, thoughtful talking points such as ``if Europe's level of 
dependence on Russia for natural gas scares you, know this America is 
even more dependent on China'' for components replacing fossil fuels.
  His explanation of the lessons on energy policies not only revealed 
the fallacies of failed policies, but he offers positive solutions 
confirming being environmentally conscious.
  Alex Epstein is a vital resource for Americans who understand the 
need for energy independence for jobs, national security, and fiscal 
sanity for American families.
