The Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER) is an anti-nuclear[1][2] organization which focuses on the environmental safety of nuclear weapons production, ozone layer depletion, and other issues relating to energy.[3] IEER publishes a variety of books on energy-related issues,[4][5] conducts workshops for activists on nuclear issues, and sponsors international symposia and educational outreach projects. IEER was established in 1987 and is based in Takoma Park, Maryland.[3]
Arjun Makhijani is President of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
