Energy and Policy Institute[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An American advocacy organization with no really discernible footprint. The article creator claims he's cited the "NY Times, WaPost, Politico", but they barely qualify even as passing mentions, since they are simply the organization's head being quoted a single time each in the news stories. Not to mention that the New York Times reference doesn't even support the claim made in the article, and the Politico reference is irrelevant to the subject of Energy and Policy Institute itself; the latter bit seems almost indistinguishable from original research.
