Let's make 100% clean energy transition reality
In our polarized world, individual political or economic interests often stand behind (pseudo-) scientific studies. We believe that transparent and objective information can keep policy-makers from taking wrong decisions and businesses from poor investments amounting to billions.
The Energy Watch Group is seeking support from individuals like yourself, to be able to conduct high-quality independent research on important energy issues. We work above party lines and for non-profit.
