CFACT is a national non-profit organization that relies principally on a growing legion of collegiate activists to reach college students with a positive, upbeat message. CFACT student chapters on college campuses organize campaigns to educate their peers on issues such as global warming, clean air and water, saving wildlife, energy independence, safe food, and the effects of government regulation, among others.
CFACT holds public programs on campuses featuring speakers like John Stossel, Jonah Goldberg, Dinesh D’Souza, Dr. Roy Spencer, Lord Christopher Monckton, and Chris Horner.

Multiple sources have added to the long list of evidence that green jobs do little to reduce the current US unemployment rate and has refuted Senator Harry Reid’s assertion that Nevada is the Saudi Arabia of solar and geothermal energy.

It opposes three of CFACT’s four tenets: Prospering Lives, Promoting Progress, and Protecting the Earth.

The push for renewable energy is nothing new, but still on many people’s’ minds. Too often, the government decides to get involved. The problem is that they often cause more harm than good. Currently the government spends huge amounts of money on ethanol subsidies. Their logic is, that if they incentivize farmers to produce corn [...]
