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. It’s all spelled out at WiseEnergy.org, which is a wealth of energy and environmental resources.

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.

In trying to sell Republicans on a carbon tax to reduce U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, Inglis insists on calling himself a Republican and free-marketer. Since 2012, his EEI has engaged in ” a nationwide public engagement campaign promoting conservative and free-enterprise solutions to energy and climate challenges.” Wiki also describes his work “to build support for energy policies that are true to conservative principles of limited government, accountability, reasonable risk-avoidance, and free enterprise.”…

– Symposium: Conversations on Water–The Vista Ridge Pipeline Proposal and  its Local Impact, University of Texas, San Antonio, August 12, 2014.

“Which large U.S. city will be the first to run out of water?” is a question being asked as a result of a new study by The Environmental Hydrology Laboratory at the University of Florida. The study ranked San Antonio worst out of 225 U.S. cities as to drought vulnerability.  And Los Angeles was nearly so, ranked at 220.
