Sourcewatch says:

Americans for American Energy (AAE) is run by and operated out of a pro-energy lobbyist firm with offices in Colorado and Washington, DC called Policy Communications Inc.

AAE described itself as in 2006 as “a non-profit, grassroots-based organization dedicated to promoting public policies that encourage greater energy independence for America … We have members, allies and supporters from the agriculture, small business, manufacturing, state legislative leaders and others from coast to coast,” it stated.[1]

More recently the group has dropped the claim that it is a grassroots organisation but instead refers to having “grassroots supporters”.[2]

Its domain registration was created in mid-March 2005.[3]

Is it true that they are a subsidiary of ACORN?
