Summary

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Bjørn Lomborg about climate change; why solar and wind energy, despite claims of being cheap, remain unreliable and costly without optimal conditions; the need to embrace natural gas and nuclear power to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining energy reliability; how lifting people out of poverty can address both environmental and societal challenges; the geopolitical consequences of energy policies; why keeping all energy solutions on the table is essential for a prosperous future; and much more. #RubinReport #BjornLomborg #greenenergy #renewableenergy #solar #solarenergy #greennewdeal #windpower #ARC #daverubin ----------------------------------------------- Reserve your 1st edition copy of our new book, The Best of Our Inheritance.
