Energy: Crisis or Opportunity?
With energy costs being the "big ticket item" on everyone's minds these days (heating, cooling, and gas prices), this Forum is very timely.
But is energy a crisis or an opportunity? Panelists will summarize the issues and discuss how businesses are meeting energy needs through a variety of sources; how this work can deliver profits to the private sector; and how individuals can enhance their quality of life and reduce energy costs. Tuesday at 6:00 PM in the Amphitheater at the Seaport World Trade Center. Free.
