www.bagley.msstate.edu Alex Epstein, author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels and Fossil Fuels Improve the Planet, will speak at a 3 p.m. free public lecture in the Colvard Student Union ballroom. A question and answer period and a book signing will follow his presentation. Evoking strong reactions from both sides of the fossil fuel-debate, Epstein’s work argues that these products are “the life-giving energy of the future” that should be “celebrated and not demonized.” In addition to his two books, his works on energy have been published in The Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily and Forbes, and his views have been covered in The New York Times and Rolling Stone. Epstein has given lectures at many universities including Stanford, Duke, Rice and UCLA. An alumnus of Duke University, Epstein studies philosophy and computer science. He is president and founder of the Center for Industrial Progress, a think-tank that supports the idea that human industry is something that will improve the planet, rather than something from which the environment must be saved.
