Clemson and Lipscomb Students Expose Green Energy

CFACT Collegians Anna-Ramsey Watson of Clemson University and Taylor Elliott of Lipscomb University recently brought CFACT’s “Green Energy Kills” message to their fellow students with a creative twist: “Pin the Tail on the Energy Donkey.” The game challenged students to match the negative consequences of so-called “clean energy” with the energy sources responsible for them. Students were given slips of paper listing harmful effects connected to wind and solar power, then asked to “pin” each one to the correct energy source. The result was an interactive lesson in a truth rarely taught on campus: “green” does not mean clean. Taylor hosted [...]

Brick by Brick: Alabama Collegian Deconstructs the Climate Narrative

At Troy University, CFACT Collegian Caitlyn Harris brought a creative edge to energy education with her “Guess What’s in Your Solar Panel?” Jenga event—proving that sometimes the best way to spark conversation is with a simple game. Hosted on March 11th, the setup quickly became a focal point on campus. Curious students stopped to see what was going on, and before long, many decided to stick around and play a round of Jenga. What started as a casual game quickly turned into something more, as participants realized each block held a lesson about the materials behind modern energy technologies. Each block [...]

Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett Talks Energy with Texas Students

On St. Patrick’s Day at Sam Houston State University, CFACT Collegians Nicolas Walker and Nyle Torpy hosted a campus event that combined a lighthearted atmosphere with a serious conversation about energy and conservation.

By the time the day arrived, they had a solid group ready to show up, grab some food, and hear something different. And there was plenty of food to go around. Raising Cane’s chicken, pizza, and a spread of drinks [...]
