MasterResource from time to time has updated our readership on the significant work being done at HumanProgress (Cato Institute). Marian Tupy, founder and editor, is continuing the tradition of Julian Simon (1932–1998). It was Simon who described energy as “the master resource,” the inspiration for this blogsite.
Recently, Tupy penned his thoughts about the importance of energy to human advancement—and mineral energies to energy. His 1,500-word post follows in its entirety.

By John Droz, Jr. -- January 21, 2019 3 CommentsThe 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.
