I got that email too.

My guess is that the report is still in preparation and will be available in the near future. This is clearly an update of an earlier report. The earlier report title doesn't have the word conservation in the title.

I'm glad to report that the message was genuine.
I just checked the website for the Center of the American West (@ http://www.centerwest.org/) and the new report titled
“What Every Westerner Should Know About Energy Efficiency and Conservation” is now available.
The report included one of my images on p. 15 and it even listed credits at the end of the report as promised. Here is a thumbnail of the original image for any that are interested:

Kudos to that site for all of their hard work, for notifying the artists about the usage of their images, and for crediting all of the artists for their images! They truly went above and beyond all normal conventions.
