Energy prices aren't rising by accident; they're the result of a global movement determined to throttle fossil fuel supply before a viable replacement exists. This approach ignores the reality that billions of people still live in energy poverty and that fossil fuels actually make us safer by powering the machines that master a dangerous climate. By shifting from a 'zero-impact' mindset to a human flourishing framework, we can reclaim a future of abundance and recognize that human intelligence, not resource restriction, is our greatest asset.
