A midweek roundup from PERC fellows:
1. Roger Meiners writes that Colorado's attempts to legislate its way towards green energy will harm the state's economy by making energy more expensive and less reliable.2. Andrew P. Morriss says the U.S. can't afford to scrap nuclear power.
3. Laura Huggins answers the question: has the age of environmentalism really has brought us closer to nature?
4. Terry Anderson recently delivered a series of lectures while he was in Prague. Two of the lectures are now online:
Founded 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s oldest and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets.
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
Research is at the heart of PERC's work, with a focus on the question: What is the link between economic growth and environmental quality?
The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.
PERC's fellowships share a common goal of exposing new scholars, students, journalists, and policy makers to free market environmentalism, as well as enable scholars already familiar with FME to explore new applications.
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
