Tonight in Columbus: Energy and Economy (and Refreshments!)
|
|
As an energy dependent society, how do we transition from expensive, dirty fossil fuels to energy efficiency and renewable energy sources? What impact will this transformation have on Ohio's economy? How large is the potential for job creation and consumer savings?
Join the Sierra Club as we discuss the economic opportunities associated with solving global warming at our Energy and the Economy Forum this month!
Hear from several panelists on the issues of global warming and the benefits we will see from moving toward a new energy economy. Panelists include: Janine Migden the Consumers' Council from the Office of the Ohio Consumers Council, Bill Spratley the Executive Director of Green Energy Ohio, Dr. Andy Keeler of the John Glenn School of Public Affairs at Ohio State University and Steve Lipster Director of the Electrical Trades Center.
