Energy & Environmental Newsletter: August 22, 2016

By <a class="post-author" href="/about#john-droz">John Droz, Jr.</a> -- August 22, 2016

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 Executive Interview: Wind Energy is Just a Subsidized Experiment

LTE: Wind Project opposed for Many Good Reasons
