    Opportunistic idiocy in wolf’s clothing
    But I agree with his assessment of opportunistic Elon M. Together they add up to a big zero. Hilarious sales pitches are found on this site

    Not LAME!
    Always on point. Cogent and pragmatic. I cannot wrap my head around the types who believe our world is going to end and, to avoid this, we must re-harmonize our spirit animals with nature and then return humanity to around the time that our nation was founded. I can only think of two explanations: 1) It’s a social contagion transferred by the type of self-loathing that incubates rapidly through social media. Anyone under 25 and/or lacks critical thinking skills is highly vulnerable. 2) Climate change is now religion. The Green Fascism Gospel. It has all the tell tale signs, yet with zero upside.

    Thank you!
    Thank you for providing the information needed to make a rational, intelligent understanding of the importance of energy.

    Nice job
    This podcast is wonderful because it’s always open to discussion based in tangible data, and that’s what science is supposed to be and do; unfortunately we live in a society that is getting manipulated by few powerful political forces that are shifting humanity back into the dark ages. Thank you Alex for your incredible work.
  • Angelina Marcil
    Fabulous Content!
    He chooses fantastic guests who have an enormous amount of knowledge in their field of study. While PH focuses on energy, you get a lot of great discussion on topics that are energy adjacent providing an even deeper understanding of the Economics and politics of the energy and anti-energy industries. This is one of the few podcasts I don’t miss.
  • Dtrain-X
    Very informative and inspiring.
    His strong philosophical background combined with his knowledge of energy systems gives him great confidence to take on debates and other intellectual challenges.

    All should subscribe to Power Hour
    An important, interesting and informative podcast that everyone should listen to, especially those who have been scared by the “climate catastrophists”. Alex provides one great interview after the other that build on facts not fiction. I am not in the energy field, but Alex and his guests explains things that every layman can understand. I highly recommend you increase your knowledge today by listening and subscribing to Power Hour.

    Power Hour
    I never thought I would be interested in topics about energy. Now I understand that all Americans should be interested in energy and the issues surrounding it. The way you approach energy makes sense and I urge all Americans to listen. Alex, you should run for Congress. You could save our country from the doom of the green new deal. Your voice is clear and concise!! Please run Alex!!

    Always The Best
    I've been listining to podcasts since 2008, and I've heard every Power Hour Alex has ever put out, many of them, several times. Invaluable information! Of all the podcasts I listen to, Power Hour is the one and only I will not miss. Suffice to say, if I could only listen to one podcast, it would no doubt be Power Hour.
  • Citifor10years
    Challenged and undefeated
    The perspective this show presents is unique. Alex always gives the steel man arguments for the other side so you’ll never feel like you can only fight the layman or poorly informed. This is a fantastic free contribution to the world (only surpassed by the Moral Case For Fossil Fuels book)
  • mgadl
    Intelligent and informative
    This is the best podcast available anywhere, anytime, for truly understanding the moral case for fossil fuels and energy issues in general.
  • AlistenerA
    Fantastic information
    This podcast has fantastic guests and a ton of great statistics and information that gives you a perspective that many of us seek, yet have a hard time finding. It also gives you resources to find more of that information on your own if you choose to do so. Only constructive criticism I have would be to work on the audio, it’s not as crisp or clear as many other podcasts and I find myself having to crank up the volume dial significantly to hear clearly. Small price to pay for the quality of the information I’ve received!

    Charlie Kirk
    Just heard you on Charlie kirks podcast! It was awesome, you really challenged his way of thinking. All be it, it’s not for from yours. BTW I’m just an ole boy from south Alabama who’s worked on offshore oil rigs and now at a steel mill. So what your saying and doing is immensely important for people now and our posterity. Keep it up plz!!!

    This podcast will change how you view the world
    No matter where you are on the political spectrum, give Alex a chance. He gives an alternative message to the constant panic played out in the media and the mobs, and the message is positive. This is meaty, thoughtful stuff, and you just might walk away a different person after hearing what he has to say.
  • Amanda Dewoody
    Logical, rational thinker!
    Alex’s logical thought process & clear communication style are a breath of fresh air. I’m deeply grateful to find a corner of sanity amid the COVID hysteria!

    Zubrin on the future of human progress
    Great show. I nearly fell off my chair when Zubrin mentioned the story about the release of iron oxide into the ocean and there was a protest by climate change environmentalist. I went to San Jose State in the early 70s. An environmental scientist from San Jose was working on a mitigation to CO2 out of a research station in Moss Landing, California. It was a big deal about that part of the College. Unfortunately he died suddenly before he could actually test his hypothesis about iron seeding the ocean in an attempt to sequester CO2. Several years after his death the experiment was attempted and touted as an unqualified success as the experiment caused a huge bloom of plankton.

    Great Information on energy…
    If you can download it! Looks like Alex has become a threat to the Deep State, and needed to be deep sixed?!
  • Alden Guy
    Incredibly Valuable
    I’ve found this podcast to be incredibly insightful and valuable. In this time where the mainstream media is ill-equipped to address climate change in a data driven and balanced way, it’s incredible to have highly informed and data driven analysts like Alex and his colleagues to take you through the data rationally. Highly recommended!

    Brief review
    I have found this podcast to be a superb venue that enables one to see the whole instead of isolated portions of a complex subject. I have difficulty understanding Stephen Henne sometimes because his audio sounds like it’s coming from an old hands free telephone. His speaking inflection is excellent but words are lost due to the quality of his audio feed.
  • Wolfgang94
    Informative
    Great, accurate and informative podcast focused on energy-related policy and issues.
  • CWC 2025
    Extremely accurate and informative
    They provide an hour of short stories about the energy industry, many of which you won't hear about anywhere else. They offer well-supported information about the problems with alternative energy initiatives and the extent to which governments globally are trying to force solutions in opposition to rational market forces.
  • Straightkiller
    The BEST podcast on energy policy.
    Been a fan of this show for years. Thankfully its back. Alex has a GREAT book called The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. Buy it. Read it. Share it.
  • dogger5
    Where the truth can be found
    Appreciate the in depth dissection of energy & climate issues and the uncovering of deception being fed to the mainstream non-free thinker!
  • bujoloyolo
    Important perspectives for everyone.
    When I was an environmentalist, I never heard any positives about fossil fuels. I think Alex has a very important perspective to share whether you agree or not. Great quality podcast with good production value. Interesting discussions that I love to listen to. Bravo.
  • TheClimateCatastrophist
    Sane discussion of energy and related topics
    Thanks for your work Alex! You bring complex topics of energy, science, development in an accessible way to interested non-experts like me. Thanks for walking the fine line between helping us understand without dumbing things down excessively.
  • SWOBIZ
    Glad you're back
    Alex, thanks so much for these recent episodes. There seems to be a consensus forming that massive government regulation of the energy is in our best interest and your voice is standing against the tide. Way to go!
  • timmy j 87
    Not helping
    You gather data and guest from the most biased groups imaginable. The heartland institute?!?! Please stop trying to explain complex science with a group that denies climate change. You are the polar opposite of green peace. You might as well just listen to infowars.
  • Crazypaco!!!
    One of the great minds in today's world!!
    Alex Epstein, Mike Cernovich, Scott Adams and last but not least The great Stefan Molyneux!! All 100% MUST listen to! These, amongst many, are the foundation of the fight for western civilization and values! 👏👍 keep up the amazing work Alex!!
  • Energy Economist
    Simplistic and biased
    The host's lack of understanding of basic energy concepts and his willful distortion of facts to suit his point of view make this podcast a total hack job. It results in interviews that lack nuance, cherry pick statistics and present deeply uninformed opinions disguised as facts.
  • JohnHobs
    ALL SOUND BITES
    No substance here. Typical arguments with zero actual data to back up anything said. I work in Oil & Gas. You don't need to win me over with fear. Ironic that after three episodes all a very common theme of "environmentalists use fear to spread false info", since that is all I heard from this podcast. "What you don't don't know about energy can kill you". I felt dumber after listening to this podcast.
  • John Goodrum
    Outstanding podcast
    Power Hour with Alex Epstein is one of the very best podcasts I've come across. He and his top-notch guests have the expertise and communication talent to really help the listener understand the often-complex issues with which Power Hour engages. I've been interested in energy for years and recently became interested in the climate change debate. The relevant science can be daunting, but after listening to just a few interviews, the subject was made comprehensible to me and I was on my way to having an informed opinion. I've listened to a number of these podcasts multiple times, always picking up something new. Alex's Moral Case for Fossil Fuels is a sane, wise and humanistic view on the vital role of energy in our civilization. Keep up the fine work, Alex!

    Fascinating guests and fantastic discussions. This is where I learn the best details regarding climate science and environmentalism.
  • TigerCam85
    Good information just a little snarky
    Alex has his agenda, but this show is definitely worth a listen due to the excellent guests on the show, even if the deck seems to be slightly stacked in his favor.
  • Dexter242P3
    Great podcasts!
    I am almost done listening to every episode. Very informative. Keep up the great work!
  • bkcerasuolo
    Great Podcast
    Awesome show. Alex is so articulate and clear in his speaking on the topic. Very insightful and the guests always bring something new. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to know more about energy and the issues the industry faces!
  • Waldo Q
    Energy from the perspective of human wellbeing
    This podcast is incredibly informative on the subject of energy from the perspective of human wellbeing. Every week Alex Epstein interviews an energy expert on their field and how it relates to the betterment of living conditions in the US and across the world. Whether you know about energy or have limited knowledge on this topic Power Hour would be a great podcast to listen to and learn more on this subject that affects all our lives.
  • Chiefab22
    Great Podcast!!
    I would highly recommend this podcast!! Great information!!
  • jmagersobregon
    Anything but superficial
    An insightful podcast. Showing a side of the debate almost never heard. Most media members could learn something here. Interesting how one sided and tribalistic reviewers like #5 is. This is anything but superficial, more like a big helping of vegetables (instead of a steady diet of sugary emotions which you get from most environmentalists/liberal/progressives/utopians)
  • stpete12
    I love fossil fuels!
    A power hour that is actually valuable to human life.
  • T.C.O.L.
    Superficial
    A classical case of drawing a conclusion, then looking for data. Alex is a friend of fossil fuels. He makes the case for them based on reliability (which should be a consideration) and price (not cost). He ignores multiple variables and glosses over externalized costs. Humans, especially smart humans, are capable of sophisticated rationalizations. Alex is a fairly typical example of that behavior .
  • SharkTankPodcast.net
    Your lifeboat in the rising ocean of the unthinking masses
    Alex Epstein makes the moral case for fossil fuels by focusing on the human impact and long term effects of the climate alarmism movement. What is the human cost of these destrutive policies? Should we focus on mazimizing human well-being or minimizing human impact? How would the leading thinkers in each energy sector solve humanity's energy problems? Great Host, Great Show - Thank you Alex.
  • Kirk Barbera
    Highly thought provoking
    No matter what side of the debate you are on, you need to listen to this podcast. You’ll get a great dose of clear thinking that will encourage you to think differently.
  • Daniel T. Richards
    The Best
    Alex is a superlative thinker and host. He asks insightful questions, and isn’t afraid to disagree. If you want to learn about energy, the environment, or human flourishing, listen to this podcast.
  • LetsThinkClearly
    a uniquely compelling podcast
    I never thought about the energy industry before listening to Alex, but now I'm hooked. Alex interviews really smart guests on interesting topics. Most of all I enjoy how Alex examines the issues with rigorous thinking, and how he demands clarity. Nobody gets a free pass. This show isn't just about the fascinating world of energy (as it turns out...it is!); it's a guide to thinking more clearly. Thanks Alex, and please keep these coming.
