The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy & environmental policies. Our basic position is that technical matters like these should be addressed by using real science.
Instead of a science-based approach, our energy and environmental policies are typically written by those who stand to economically or politically profit from them. As a result, anything genuinely science-based in these policies is usually inadvertent and accidental.
A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every 3 weeks we put together a newsletter to balance what is found in the mainstream media about energy and environmental matters. We appreciate MasterResource for their assistance in publishing this information.

Some good food-for-thought in this one-minute Christian sermon.
Our proposed national energy slogan is “All of the Sensible” (in contrast to the absurd “All of the Above”). Additionally we should be using the term “unreliables” when speaking of renewables. Please pass these on. US citizens should make sure to get up-to-speed with what is on our PTCFacts.Info pages, as the PTC is still a political issue.
Please share this information on to other open-minded, science-oriented people. If you know anyone who would like to periodically like to get AWED emailings, please email me. Thank you for your support.
Some other recent AWED newsletters at MasterResource:
When I drive through a wind farm area that has over 100 wind turbines standing there, it is seldom that they are operating in full force. It should be readily apparent that wind power is no where near what is touted. Not even close. Complete boondoggles and yet everyone is supposed to buy in to their shtik.
What a waste and blight of good land and countryside.
Wind power is not going to work. When you see it, it becomes obvious that there is not enough power generation to do squat.
Record low temperature today.
My thanks to John for including my recent article “Trust us, Skeptics are Crooks” in his “manmade global warming articles” section.
As the notion of manmade global warming crumbles into total collapse, we need to fully comprehend what kept it alive in zombie-like fashion for such a long length of time.
