Energy & Environmental News

For the full version of the latest Energy and Environmental Newsletter, please clickhere. To review some of the highlights, see below.

The response to our Net Local Economic Report for wind energy has been very supportive (Outstanding, Amazing, Sensational, Excellent, etc.). Please carefully look it over, and then pass it onto citizens being threatened by that scourge. (Make sure that the revision date is 6/13/19 or later, as updates have been made!)

Our Winning webpage is an outline of what citizens should do to maximize their chance of success in dealing with a proposed wind project. We just added a new link to outline what conscientious local legislators should do in the same scenario.

A serious national security matter is wind energy interference with military operations. Please watch this new short video on that important issue.

My vote for the two most outstanding articles this cycle were both written by international environmental leaders: Michael Shellenberger and Bjorn Borg.

Note 1: We recommend reading the Newsletter on your computer, not your phone. Some documents (e.g. PDFs) are easier to read on a computer. We’ve tried to use common fonts, etc. to minimize issues.

Note 2: Our intention is to put some balance into what most people see from the mainstream media about energy and environmental issues… As always, please pass this on to open-minded citizens, and link to this on your social media sites. If there are others who you think would benefit from being on our energy & environmental email list, please let me know. If at any time you’d like to be taken off this list, simply send me an email saying that.

Note 3: This Newsletter is intended to supplement the material on our website, WiseEnergy.org. The most important page there is the Winning page.

Note 4: I am not an attorney, so no material appearing in any of the Newsletters (or our WiseEnergy.org website) should be construed as giving legal advice. My recommendation has always been: consult a competent licensed attorney when you are involved with legal issues.
