Science still shows you to be an ignorant, bigoted asshole. A peer-reviewed, statistically significant ignorant, bigoted asshole.
Yup.
The
Institute for Energy Research (IER), founded in 1989 from a predecessor non-profit organization registered by
Charles G. Koch and
Robert L. Bradley Jr., advocates positions on environmental issues including deregulation of utilities, climate change denial, and claims that conventional energy sources are virtually limitless.
It is a member of the
Sustainable Development Network. The IER's President was formerly Director of Public Relations Policy at
Enron.
IER has been established as a
501(c)(3) non-profit group. It is a "partner" organization of the
American Energy Alliance[1], a
501c4 organization which states that it is the "grassroots arm" of IER.
[2] AEA states that, by "communicating IER’s decades of scholarly research to the grassroots, AEA will empower citizens with facts so that people who believe in freedom can reclaim the moral high ground in the national public policy debates in the energy and environmental arena."
[2] AEA states that its aim is to "create a climate that encourages the advancement of free market energy policies" and in particular ensure drilling for oil is allowed in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and in US coastal waters.
