Why the World Needs 3× More Energy — And Why Its Possible | Toby Rice [ARC 2026] [xmlWaDZ4aJg]
Energy entrepreneur Toby Rice argues that the world's biggest problem isn't climate change or resource depletion, but energy scarcity. Drawing on the American shale revolution, he makes the case that affordable, reliable energy is the foundation of prosperity, security, and human flourishing. His solution: triple global energy production and embrace an agenda of energy abundance. __ Buy your 1st edition copy of our new book, The Age of Reconstruction: With the return of the ARC Conference this June, we are publishing a brand new book — the most comprehensive synthesis of ARC’s philosophy to date. Drawing on Augustine, Tolkien, and a long tradition of civilisational thinking, The Age of Reconstruction charts a path from diagnosis to renewal. While many can point out where things have gone wrong, this book does what most can’t: it lays out a vision of what we must build, how, and why it is still possible. Praise for The Age of Reconstruction: "Will Western Civilisation flourish, or flounder? It depends on us, and the decisions we make right now. And Johnny Patterson's wonderful 'The Age of Reconstruction' gives us the formula, based on timeless ideas and wisdom." — Arthur Brooks, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author __ Toby Z. Rice is President and CEO of EQT Corporation, a leading U.S. natural gas producer.
