Energy lecture Wednesday at W&J
Washington & Jefferson College’s Energy Lecture Series continues Wednesday with “Obtaining a Social License to Operate in the Unconventional Shale Domain” at 7 p.m. in the Howard J. Burnett Center’s Yost Auditorium.
Free and open to the public, the lecture series is presented by W&J’s Center for Energy Policy and Management.
The new Center for Sustainable Shale Development was formed by a coalition of gas producing companies, philanthropies and environmental groups to support continuous improvement in industrial practices through performance standards and voluntary certification.
Speakers will include Andrew Place, acting interim director of the CSSD, and Davitt Woodwell, senior vice president, Pennsylvania Environmental Council, as they discuss the goals and plans of the CSSD and the challenges and opportunities it faces.
