Revision 2/16/25
Note 1: We recommend reading the Newsle&er on your computer, not your phone, as some documents (e.g., PDFs) are much easier to read on a large computer screen… We’ve tried to use common fonts, etc. to minimize display issues.
Note 2: For past Newsle&er issues see the archives from 2021, 2022, 2023, & 2024. To accommodate numerous requests received about prior arIcles over all fourteen plus years of the Newsle&er, we’ve put this together where you can search ALL prior issues, by year. For a background about how the Newsle&er is put together, etc., please read this.
Note 3: See this extensive list of reasonable books on climate change. As a parallel effort, we have also put together a list of some good books related to industrial wind energy. Both topics are also extensively covered on my website: WiseEnergy.org.
Note 4: I am not an aVorney or a physician, so no material appearing in any of the Newsle&ers (or any of my websites) should be construed as giving legal or medical advice. My recommendaIon has always been: consult a competent, licensed aVorney when you are involved with legal issues, and consult a competent physician regarding medical maVers.
