Hi all, Ellen Story, the Massachusetts State Representative for Hampshire County, is organizing an informal discussion of energy issues to be held on Sunday, Oct. 16 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in the Amherst Room of the Jones Library, Amity Street, Amherst. Anyone with expertise in the energy field,or is concerned with how the growing energy crisis might affect our lives and businesses, is free to attend. There is no charge. The purpose is to pull together information and create proposals for politicians and public policy advisors. If you can't be there, please email me your thoughts/concerns directly at az at a-zinternational.com. I will make sure they are submitted and added to the testimony. If you know energy experts who are college faculty or members of regionally-based think tanks, please pass on their names, as well. We will invite them to attend. Hope to see many of you on the 16th!
