Energy & Environmental Newsletter: May 22, 2017

By <a class="post-author" href="/about#john-droz">John Droz, Jr.</a> -- May 22, 2017

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.

Some of the more important articles in this issue are:

Wind turbines are not clean or green, and they provide zero global energy

Pitting Wind and Solar Against Nuclear Power

What Happens to an Economy When Forced to Use Renewable Energy?

What ideas do you have for EPA that are consistent with the six areas of opportunity (see below)? Comments must be received on or before May 15, 2017. Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OA-2017-0190 here.

Click on the top “Comment Now” button to make suggestions regarding regulations that need to be changed. (Note that once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed.)

The EPA may publish any received comment. The EPA will generally not consider comments outside this venue. You do not have to be a US citizen to make comments.

Background

On February 24, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13777, “Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,” which established a federal policy “to alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens” on the American people.…
