The Real Energy Crisis: 3 Billion People Use Less Power Than Your Fridge

If you’ve been told we’re using “too much” energy or that fossil fuels are destroying the planet, it’s time to flip the script:

That’s not just a number.

That’s 3 billion lives trapped in poverty because they don’t have enough energy to cook, to work, to access medicine, or even to refrigerate food.

It’s a convenient narrative. But it’s not the truth.

🪸 This Isn’t a Climate Issue – It’s a Human One

Without reliable, affordable energy:

• Hospitals go dark

• Children do homework by candlelight

• Women cook with toxic smoke indoors

• Clean water can’t be pumped or purified

• Jobs, income, and opportunity vanish

This is daily life for billions of people—not because they chose it, but because global elites are pushing energy restrictions in the name of “climate justice.”

But what’s just about denying people the energy they need to survive?

🛢️ Fossil Fuels Aren’t the Problem. They’re the Solution.

Fossil fuels are the most affordable, scalable source of energy in human history.

They’ve:

• Powered every major industrial boom in the last 150 years

• Lifted billions out of poverty in China, India, and beyond

• Enabled life-saving tech like water sanitation, medicine, and transport

• Built the modern world—and can do the same for energy-poor regions

Without fossil fuels, the developing world stays stuck.

With them, people flourish.

Alex Epstein says it best:

It’s not about left vs. right.

It’s about life vs. death, growth vs. stagnation.

When you restrict energy, you restrict life.

You cut off the very thing people need to improve their health, safety, and quality of life.

And that’s not progress.

That’s cruelty dressed up as climate policy.

Fossil fuels gave us the modern world.

Electricity. Industry. Medicine. Food. Freedom.

But today, anti-energy activists and policymakers are trying to shut down the very thing that could lift billions more people into a better life.

That’s not just wrong—it’s immoral.

The real energy crisis isn’t using too much.

We don’t need less fossil fuel. We need more affordable energy – clean, reliable, and ready now – to empower every human on Earth.
