The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels - Montreal

The Montreal event represents a strategic stop in Epstein's Canadian tour, bringing his message to Quebec's unique political and cultural landscape where energy policy debates often intersect with environmental activism and provincial autonomy concerns. Montreal's position as a major Canadian metropolitan center with strong environmental consciousness makes it an important venue for Epstein's message about balancing human development needs with environmental stewardship. The presentation will likely address how Quebec's hydroelectric success story relates to broader energy policy questions, while challenging audiences to consider the global implications of energy access restrictions. Quebec's significant manufacturing and industrial base, much of which depends on reliable energy supplies, provides relevant context for discussions about energy's role in economic development. The event offers Montreal's academic community, policymakers, and business leaders an opportunity to engage with perspectives that emphasize technological innovation and improved environmental practices within continued fossil fuel development, rather than wholesale energy transition approaches.
