The latest Energy and Environmental Newsletter is now available online.

The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of more than 10,000 individuals and organizations interested in improving government 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 an exceptional collection of helpful 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.

Some special gems in this issue:

1 – Net Subsidy Analysis: A Better Way to Assess Government Energy Policy

2 – “Property values are the new front line in the war over wind

turbines”

3 – N.J. Offshore Wind Project Reveals True Cost to Taxpayer.

4 – Fossil fuels now beat wind and solar on environmental as well as economic grounds

5 – Industrial Wind Turbines, Human Variability, and Adverse Health Effects

6 – Wind Turbine Noise, Sleep Quality, and Inner Ear Problems

7 – Turbines killed 600,000 (possibly as many as 900,000) US bats in 2012

8 – Peer-Reviewed Source: New Research Challenges Global Warming Theories
