The Institute for Energy Research (IER) is a reputable not-for-profit organization dedicated to conducting thorough research and analysis on global energy markets, their operations, and government regulation. Founded in 1989, IER firmly believes that freely-functioning energy markets offer the most efficient and effective solutions to today's energy and environmental challenges, benefiting individuals and society as a whole. As a tax-exempt public charity, IER is solely funded by tax deductible contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporations, and does not seek or accept financial support from government sources.

IER's approach is built on a set of core principles. They advocate for free markets, emphasizing that private property rights, market exchange, and the rule of law have historically led to affordable energy, improved living standards, and a cleaner environment. Their policy recommendations are rooted in objective science, rather than emotion or improbable scenarios, and they underscore the need for balanced consideration of public policy tradeoffs.

Recognizing the limitations of government intervention, IER promotes efficient outcomes and equitable treatment for energy consumers, producers, and taxpayers alike. At IER, their team of experts, including CEO and Founder Robert L. Bradley Jr.

Pyle, uphold their commitment to rigorous, scholarly analysis and a free-market-based approach to energy and environmental policies.
