Cheaper, Cleaner Energy
To keep our society running, we need to fight for affordable electricity and gasoline. To keep our planet running, we need to aggressively pursue alternative fuels. Cheap and clean energy is essential and Consumer Watchdog keeps an eye on the power companies that too often stand in the way.
Our research has exposed price gouging by oil companies, market manipulation by energy traders and the failure of electricity deregulation. Consumer Watchdog's blog OilWatchdog is a leading oil industry critic and aggregator of smoking guns, economic analyses and alternative fuels advocacy. We also keep a close eye on the money spent for political influence by the oil industry.
Join the conversation about our energy future and the fight for cheap and clean energy.
