FTM: The Energy Foundation, Part 3

The Energy Foundation also has a transportation program.  Here are a few grants that caught my eye on that issue:

"International Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture (Minneapolis, MN) $15,000, Grant Period: Feb, 2007 – Jul, 2007, To support Congregations Caring for Creation to develop a strategic Plan for its global warming work with faith communities in Minnesota."

It's good to see the global warming crowd putting their faith in something larger than "the science".

"Regents of the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI) $50,000, Grant Period: Mar, 2007 – Feb, 2008, To support media and policymaker outreach on oil dependence and the auto industry"

Given the state of Michigan's auto industry the past few years, I am not sure how well the state was served by this grant.  But the next time you hear that the Universities' pronouncements cannot be questioned because they represent "science" and "truth, just remember who is paying the bill.

"The Truman National Security Project Educational Institute (Washington, DC) $124,600, Grant Period: Feb, 2011 – Apr, 2011, To deploy veterans and security leaders in support of clean cars standards in California."

It's not just academics and believers being drafted for the fight against global warming, our fighting men and women are asked to do their part for the cause.
