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 turbines are not clean or green, and they provide zero global energy
Pitting Wind and Solar Against Nuclear Power
What Happens to an Economy When Forced to Use Renewable Energy?…
