ORCAS Conducts Workshops on the Future of Energy in Appalachia
On behalf of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), the Oak Ridge Center for Advanced Studies (ORCAS) is conducting three workshops about the future of energy in Appalachia.
- June 21 in Morgantown, West Virginia
- June 27 in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
- July 13 in Huntsville, Ala.
The governors of the 13 Appalachian states and the ARC federal co-chair have called for the creation of an “Energy Blueprint,” in light of the changing energy supply, policy, and use environment. The blueprint will focus on job creation; energy efficiency and conservation; and economic competitiveness in the Appalachian Region.
