The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy, environmental, and education 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 two± 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:

Thanks for the link to “The Virus Modeling Scandal.”
As one who spent a career both building and examining computer-based models, I harbor deep suspicions and skepticism about their accuracy.
Unless and until you know what data and assumptions are incorporated in them— and unless and until they have been tested and validated— they should be treated as worthless examples of GIGO.
