Report: Counterpoint: Heritage Foundation Backgrounder
In the high-stakes federal budget debate, getting the facts right is critical. That is why the Heritage Foundation’s recent report — which proposed a near-dismantling of the U.S. energy innovation system — demanded an immediate point-by-point analysis of the inaccuracies, which Americans for Energy Leadership provided with the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation and the Breakthrough Institute.
