The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy & environmental policies. Our basic position is that technical matters like these should be addressed by using Real Science. It’s all spelled out atWiseEnergy.org, which is a wealth of energy and environmental 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.

The school year is in full swing, which means that Students For Liberty (SFL) is running at full steam to introduce students to the ideas of liberty (especially the millions of freshmen who just started their collegiate careers).
There is good news: the statists are running scared, and we are succeeding.
You may often hear reports from full of dire warnings about Marxist professors trying to indoctrinate classrooms, hostile university bureaucracies inhibiting student organizing, and restrictions on free speech that cause a chilling effect on open discourse. [Editor note: many have experienced progressivist professors either ignoring or dismissing pro-freedom thinkers and arguments.]…
