The '''American Tradition Institute''' (ATI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Washington, DC and in Denver, CO. According to its mission statement, the ATI E&E Legal is "a public engaged in strategic litigation, policy research , and public education on important energy and educational foundation ... founded in 2009 to help lead the national discussion about environmental issues, including air " and "seeks to address and correct onerous federal and water quality state governmental actions that negatively impact energy and regulation, the environment. E&E Legal advocates responsible land use, natural resource managementdevelopment, energy developmentsound science, respect for property rights, and freea commitment to markets as it holds accountable those who seek excessive and destructive government regulation that’s based on agenda-market principles of stewardshipdriven policy making, junk science, and hysteria."<ref name="About_2014">Energy & Environment Legal Institute, [http://eelegal.org/?page_id=1657 About], organizational website, accessed March 2014.</ref>

Others named in the 2015 invitation included likely presidential candidate [[Jeb Bush]], [[Tennessee Valley Authority]] president Bill Johns, and "the owners and chief executives of coalmining and energy companies" including [[Alliance Resource Partners]], [[Alpha Natural Resources]], [[Consol Energy]], [[Drummond Company]], [[Arch Coal]], and [[United Coal Company]].<ref name="goldenberg coal forum">Suzanne Goldenberg, "[http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/may/29/jeb-bush-closed-door-meeting-coal-industry-barons Jeb Bush cozies up to coal industry barons at closed-door meeting]," ''The Guardian'', May 29, 2015.</ref> According to ''The Guardian'', :The invitations to the three-day forum promise access to influential figures – including a potential future occupant of the White House – in a relaxed setting, with time for cocktails, golf lessons, and fishing.

Among its main recommendations, the proposal calls for a national PR campaign aimed at causing "subversion in message of [wind] industry so that it effectively becomes so bad that no one wants to admit in public they are for it." It suggests setting up "dummy businesses" to buy anti-wind billboards, and creating a "counter-intelligence branch" to track the wind energy industry. It also calls for spending $750,000 to create an organization with paid staff and tax-exempt status dedicated to building public opposition to state and federal government policies encouraging the wind energy industry.
==IRS status==The proposal was discussed at a meeting of self-styled 'wind warriors' from across the country in Washington DC in February 2012. Participants included members of conservative groups such as [[Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow]] and [[Tea Party Patriots]].

The proposal was reviewed by [[John Droz]] Jr., a senior fellow at ATI, for discussion at the Washington meeting, which he also organised. ATI''American Tradition Institute'' s executive director, [[Tom Tanton]], told the Guardian that Droz had acted alone on the memo, although he remains a fellow at ATI. Droz is a longtime opponent of wind farms, arguing that the technology has not yet been proven and that wind technology should not receive government support. He claims 10,000 subscribers to his anti-wind-power email newsletter. In a telephone interview, Droz said the dba name Washington strategy session was his own initiative, and that neither he nor any of the ''Western Tradition Institute'' 501(c)(3)participants had been paid for attending the session.

GMELC is now known as the "Free Market Environmental Law Clinic" (FME Law).

The Board thus directed a name change to reflect this broadened purpose. Until completion of the legal transition to its new name, the Clinic is doing business as the Free Market Environmental Law Clinic but must retain its original name for banking and tax purposes."
