Energy & Environmental Newsletter: December 18, 2017

By -- December 18, 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.

This is our final issue for 2017. Thanks for your support and efforts that helped make 2017 a successful year!

Some of the more important articles in this issue are:
