Objectivist talk about Oil by Alex Epstein

[Joshua]

Speaking Event on Campus: "Vitamin 'O': America's Healthy 'Addiction'
to Oil" by Alex Epstein

On Monday, November 8th from 6-8pm Alex Epstein from the Ayn Rand
Center for Individual Rights will give a talk on the Auraria Campus
entitled "Vitamin 'O': America's Healthy 'Addiction' to Oil."

It will be held in the Tivoli Student Union room 250- The Turnhalle
room


Here is a description of the talk:
Every day, you use an average of three gallons of oil. This is a very,
very good thing. That is the radical message of "Vitamin O," a 30-
minute speech by Alex Epstein that defends our so-called addiction to
oil as vital to our lives and happiness, and debunks myths associated
with our "addiction to oil": that we will run out of oil, that foreign
oil causes terrorism and creates dependence, that oil spills and
climate change will destroy our environment, and that oil can be
replaced by "clean energy."

Following his speech, Mr. Epstein will answer questions on oil and the
future of energy—from sustainability to energy independence to climate
change.
