Energy & Environmental Newsletter: March 25, 2019
By John Droz, Jr. -- March 25, 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.

“From the very beginning, the #ExxonKnew campaign was orchestrated by the Rockefellers and anti-fossil fuel activists who want oil and natural gas companies to ‘pay’ for climate change.”
