The Alliance for Wise Energy
Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested
in improving national, state, and local energy and environmental policies. Our premise
is that technical matters like these should be addressed by using Real Science (please
consult WiseEnergy.org for more information).
A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every three
weeks we put together a newsletter to balance what is found in the mainstream media
about energy and the environment. We appreciate MasterResource for their assistance
in publishing this information.
