THIS IS EVIDENCED ON TWO SIDES OF THE SPECTRUM BOTH AMONG THOSE WHO BELIEVE THE "SHALE REVOLUTION" WILL USHER IN A NEW ERA OF ENERGY ABUNDANCE AND OTHERS WHO ARE CONVINCED THAT RENEWABLE ENERGY CAN FULLY PROVIDE THE LIFESTYLES TO WHICH WE'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED. THROUGH OUR ENERGY REALISM PROGRAM, THE INSTITUTE ENGAGES WITH ENERGY MEDIA, ENVIRONMENTAL/ENERGY ADVOCACY GROUPS, POLICY MAKERS, AND CONCERNED INDIVIDUALS TO SHARE AN EVIDENCE-BASED STORY OF OUR ENERGY REALITY. WE INSPIRE THESE CONSTITUENCIES TO RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR ENERGY TRAJECTORY, TO EMBRACE THE NEED TO USE LESS ENERGY, AND TO ADOP CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY-SCALE RENEWABLE ENERGY.
