THE MORAL CASE FOR FOSSIL FUELS
In The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, ALEX EPSTEIN argues that we usually hear only one side of the story. We’re taught to think only of the negatives of fossil fuels, but not the positives—their unique ability to provide cheap, reliable energy for a world of 7 billion people. If we look at the big picture, we are morally obligated to use more fossil fuels for the sake of our economy and our environment.

Keynote Sessions All three conferences will start with two joint keynote sessions: “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels” by Alex Epstein followed by an expert panel to discuss how net zero energy will affect natural gas on the various local, state and national policies.
Gas Policy Conference The inaugural APGA Gas Policy Conference (GPC) has an agenda full of natural gas policy issues and their effects on the natural gas direct-use market. Highlights of this new conference include how utilities can effectively influence the code development process, identifying threats to the direct use of natural gas, and how to get your state to utilize the direct-use of natural gas.
Marketing & Sales Trends & Training Conference 2016 MSTTC sessions include an analysis of how much realtors know about natural gas, the 2015 APGA Marketing & Sales Award winners, multi-family housing market options, NGV educational tools and workshops, and partnering your marketing efforts with electric utilities.
