Peter:
This is the latest issue of my informal, free collection of recent electrical energy-related developments. Since citizens are daily inundated with material coming out on this topic, I am trying to present a digest summary of the most pertinent applicable information. My bias is for articles that are: scientific, independent, informative, constructive, and/or well-written. (I would STRONGLY recommend that you SAVE these emails, as you might need links to some good articles in the future.)
At last count there are over 4000 readers of the newsletter. If there are some other open-minded people you think would like this newsletter feel free to pass it on — or provide me with their email addresses and I will include them in the future.
My core message is: Scientifically Sound Solutions not Palliative Political Pablum
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
What this translates to is that the policy statement of any true environmental organization should be the following:
1) We believe that we have environmental and energy issues, and
2) We believe that these matters should be resolved by applying the scientific method.
Anything less would amount to promoting a political policy rather than a science-based one. Citizens should insist on nothing less from organizations they belong to.
