Sustainable Energy Fund To Host Fact Based Shale Education As Part of Energypath 2011
|
|
Sustainable Energy Fund will be hosting a nonpartisan fact based Marcellus Shale educational program as part of Energypath 2011 on June 30 at DeSales University. "Extraction of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale has become a very controversial issue," stated Jennifer Hopkins, President Sustainable Energy Fund. She continued, "We felt it was important for the leaders of today and tomorrow to have the opportunity to learn the facts then be able to decide for themselves."
The information on natural gas extraction from Marcellus Shale is being presented in two sessions.
The first session starting at 8:30 am will be presented in an academic format and focus on what shale is, how it was formed, where it is and what is the process to extract natural gas from the shale.
The second session starts at 12:15 pm with personal stories from those personally impacted by the extraction, both positively and negatively. Following the personal stories is a panel that features stakeholders from the various sides of each issue. The panelists include representatives from the business community, industry and environmental groups.
Ms. Hopkins stated, "I would recommend these sessions to anyone who is tired of the talking points, over the top rhetoric and wants the facts so they can decide for themselves."
The annual Energypath conference hosted by Sustainable Energy Fund provides a nonpartisan fact based venue for educating the leaders of today and tomorrow. This year's event is being held at DeSales University, 2755 Station Road, Center Valley, Pennsylvania June 29 and 30.
Prospective attendees can register at the Energypath 2011 website.
