From the time we wake until the time we sleep, our consumption of energy is virtually seamless. Day or night, Americans can reliably cook food, light and heat their homes, receive entertainment and information, and travel to their destinations using safe energy supplies. 'Energy 101' is intended as a primer to help consumers understand the benefits of and challenges to energy access, security, and affordability, and to explain how energy policy turns the spigot on the fuel of human flourishing.
In June, AEI launched a $50,000 video contest to promote the moral case for free enterprise.
