Gather at the REEC offices before you make your decision in November, for a timely and informative discussion on global oil issues and strategies during this two night symposium. Worried about gasoline prices, the oil supply and how we got into this mess? Are the oil companies to blame? Are Americans addicted to oil? Answers to these questions will be presented by Rick Jacobs, Manager of Environmental Projects at PPG Industries Inc., and his discussion on the 29th. Then join us again on the 30th for "Drill More/Use Less - What Do the Presidential Candidates' Energy Plans Reveal?" presented by Vanessa Schweizer, PhD candidate in Engineering and Public Policy, CMU. Admission to both events is free.

REEC is in Upper St. Clair in Boyce-Mayview Park. Parking for this event will be in the paved parking areas by the picnic pavilion off of Mayview Road (behind the construction of the new USC Community Rec. Center). Signs are posted, guiding you to the REEC: keep alert, as the new construction has made traversing the park challenging.
