Energy and the Environment: Myths and Facts

From the Manhattan Institute’s Center for Energy and the Environment:

"The Center for Energy Policy and the Environment at the Manhattan Institute released a new report by senior fellow Max Schulz, entitled “Energy and the Environment: Myths and Facts.” Sound policy decisions require a well-informed citizenry. But how well-informed are we regarding our energy needs and natural environment? The Manhattan Institute, along with Zogby International, polled 1,000 Americans about basic facts relating to energy policy. The findings revealed that many widely held beliefs are, in key ways, inaccurate. In this new report, Max Schulz examines the public perception of energy and the environment; by separating fact from fiction, we present the true story behind America’s energy myths."  [RJ]
