Take Charge! Community Energy Forum in Wichita, April 28

During the past few months, many Kansans have had climate and energy topics have been on their minds.

This has been especially true for the Kansas state legislature, as they’ve considered multiple bills this session which address Kansas’ energy future.

To allow for an open public dialogue about these critical issues, the Wichita State University Elliott School of Communication, the League of Women Voters-Wichita Metro, the Climate and Energy Project (CEP), and the Sierra Club Southwind Chapter are co-sponsoring a community energy forum at WSU Monday, April 28th.

The forum will offer a rare opportunity for concerned citizens to hear their legislators’ positions on Kansas’ energy future, and to have their questions answered. The forum, moderated by the League of Women Voters-Wichita Metro and WSU faculty, will allow for a balanced and nonpartisan discussion of the energy issues of our state - from debates over coal plants, to Kansas’ wind energy potential.

“We won’t sort it all out in one night,” said event organizer Elizabeth Bishop, “But we can make a good start. Having a civil, informative public discussion about energy is long overdue.”

“This is really about our energy future as a state. The questions become: Where do we want to get our energy from? What is the role of the Kansas state legislature in forming a comprehensive energy policy for our state?” said Pat Dooley, co-president of the League of Women Voters-Wichita Metro, and WSU faculty member.

Event details:
Monday, April 28th - 7:00 PM
