A panel of energy experts will discuss “The Future of Energy in the Commonwealth – A 21st Century Gold Rush?” at the Second Annual Goddard Symposium. This is free event, which is open to the public, will be held on February 15 at 7:00 p.m. at the Grace Milliman Pollock Center in Camp Hill, Cumberland County.
This year’s symposium will explore the future of Pennsylvania’s energy by discussing some of the various energy options in the state, including natural gas, solar and geo-thermal sources.
The panel will include: Barb Sexton, Director-State Government Relations, Chesapeake Energy Corporation; Charles Kupfer, Ph.D, Associate Professor of American Studies, Penn State University; Peter G. Robelen, P.G., President of GeoServices LTD; Julien Gaudion, Business Development Manager, Petra Solar; and Tony Davis, Ecologist / Botanist, Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program.
The symposium will highlight the historic opportunity in Pennsylvania to develop these energy resources in a way that ensures our environment is protected, our economy is strong, and our nation is more secure. The panel will provide perspectives on this opportunity and will welcome discussion from attendees.
Students are also encouraged to attend this symposium as the panel will discuss career opportunities in the various energy sectors. Development of new energy resources in Pennsylvania has created a demand for engineers, technicians, and geologists with expertise in new areas.
This is the 2nd Goddard Symposium sponsored by Camp Hill School District. Maurice Goddard (1912-1995) served for five governors from 1955-1979 in an extraordinary career as Secretary of the former Departments of Environmental Resources and Forests and Waters.
Goddard significantly expanded the State Park system, established state forest natural and wild areas, and professionalized forestry and environmental management in state government. A leader in air and water resource management, he inspired environmental awareness nationwide. The symposium is dedicated to his incredible and inspiring legacy.
