Power Hour with Alex Epstein

I recently sat down with Blake Scholl, the founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, to discuss the persuasion strategies he used to get the US government to legalize civil supersonic flight over land.

I recently sat down with Alan Armstrong, the former CEO of Williams (one of America’s foremost natural gas pipeline companies) and now the freshman Senator from Oklahoma, to talk about a key part of Congress's ongoing permitting negotiations: the Clean Water Act.

I sat down with Ethan Thornton, the 22-year-old defense tech prodigy and CEO of Mach Industries, to talk about an existential issue: how the US can stop China from taking over Taiwan—and, more broadly, the critical role of the US government in improving its weapons procurement system.

I brought back my podcast Power Hour for a discussion with Congressmen Chip Roy Josh Brecheen about how they defeated a hoard of subsidy-seeking lobbyists to cut off new solar and wind subsidies in the "Big Beautiful Bill."Why also discussed why it's crucial for the Senate to preserve and build on this victory, and strategies for making this happen.http://alexepstein.com

From Alex Epstein: "Recently I was having dinner with Peter Thiel (the billionaire investor/entrepreneur who founded PayPal and Palantir) and he raised some interesting challenges to my book Fossil Future (which he has enthusiastically endorsed). I suggested, 'Let’s record a discussion where you give me all your challenges to Fossil Future and I try to answer them.' Peter loved the idea, so we made it happen—recording a 90-minute discussion at his office in West Hollywood."
