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:
