Wooster College - Sustainable Energy Puts America to Work

"Sustainable Energy Puts America to Work"
Bill Spratley - Executive Director of Green Energy Ohio to speak at Wooster College
Thursday, November 30th, 2006
Gault Recital Hall of Scheide Music Center
525 E. University St.
7.00 pm

There has been quite a bit of press about how alternative energy products can create jobs in Ohio. There is the prospect of fuel cell manufacturing, wind power and solar power creating now only jobs in term of research but also equipment production. A large challenge that our area faces seems to be utilizing the research capabilities that we currently possess, getting that research to local manufacturers and businesses and proving to local communities that implementation of technologies allows municipalities to shift their image and possibly draw more technological companies.

Besides being just good for America by reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, utilizing alternative energies would be especially good for Ohio. Our geographic location, manufacturing history, work force and integrated education and research facilities poise Northeast Ohio in a prime position to capitalize on national trends towards placing emphasis on new energy technologies.

The lecture, sponsored by Green Energy Ohio and Wooster's Greenhouse Program if free and open to the public. I am hoping that the lecture covers some of the topics mentioned above.
