“Dr. Pat Michaels had acknowledged in an e-mail correspondence that he had received about $16,000 in industry funding. In fact, it turned out that he had received more than 10 times that amount from industry sources — funding he had never publicly disclosed. In addition to funding both his publications, Western Fuels also provided a $63,000 grant for Michaels’ research. Another $49,000 came from the German Coal Mining Association. A smaller grant of $15,000 came from the Edison Electric Institute. Michaels also listed a grant of $40,000 from the western mining company, Cyprus Minerals. For much of the 1990s, Cyprus Minerals was the largest single funder of the anti-environmental Wise Use Movement in the western part of the U.S.”
