The environmental narrative often presents a false dichotomy, suggesting that addressing climate issues requires making people poorer.

Environmental policies that prioritize the planet over the poor can lead to dire consequences for vulnerable populations.

The modern environmental movement identifies the correct problem of finite resources but fails to propose appealing solutions for economic growth. To make clean technologies cost competitive, we need to massively lower their prices through subsidies and innovation until the innovation curve is crossed.

We should address climate change through technological innovation rather than through deprivation or degrowth.

The policies that were once necessary to protect the environment now hinder the development of sustainable solutions like dense housing and nuclear power, which are essential for a prosperous future.

The solutions to environmental issues often come with trade-offs, and while private property capitalist solutions may not be perfect, they have proven effective in many cases.

Despite the wealth in the world, many problems remain unsolved because billionaires often don't take action to address them.

One of the themes of our book is how inefficient government can be, often failing to achieve its own ends, such as building affordable housing or high-speed rail.

We need to focus on practical solutions for climate change, such as carbon capture and small nuclear reactors, rather than ineffective policies.
