[Please share this invitation with colleagues who teach courses about
climate change, climate policy, environmental policy, environmental
science, energy policy and/or economic development]
Dear Colleagues,
If
you are teaching a course in spring 2016 that includes content on
climate change, climate policy, environmental policy and/or energy
policy, you and your students are invited to participate in the PA Power
Dialog in Harrisburg on April 4, 2016. The PA Power Dialog, which is
being organized by the Pennsylvania Environmental Resource Consortium
(PERC), will engage Pennsylvania college and university students in
meaningful dialog with state regulators, legislators and peers about the
Clean Power Plan and its implementation in Pennsylvania.
Please contact Neil Leary (learyn@dickinson.edu) for more information or to reserve places for you and your students.
The
program for the Dialog is still being developed (draft appended at end
of this email), but will include a keynote talk by DEP Secretary John
Quigley (confirmed), student panels in which students will share their
work and viewpoints, small group roundtable discussions and
opportunities for dialog. Topics for student panels will be decided in
consultation with participating faculty.
We will also provide
opportunity for student organizations to participate and will provide
more information about this option in coming days.
The PA
Power Dialog is one of a number of state-level dialogs that are being
organized across the country by the Bard Center for Environmental
Policy. Bard CEP is developing and sharing resources for teaching about
the Clean Power Plan. PERC will assemble complementary resources that
are Pennsylvania specific, which we will make available for your use.
We
are working to make the conference free of charge. But there may be a
small registration fee to pay for the venue and possibly food depending
on whether we decide to provide lunch or have everyone get lunch on
their own.

Truck Watch to Alert Public to Radioactive Dangers: Fall Newsletter
Nukewatch Plans Truck Watch to Alert Public to Radioactive Transport Dangers
This fall, Nukewatch staffers will hit the road with our Geiger counter and begin tracking private contractors hauling low-level waste, checking for radiation leaking near our public highways. Nukewatch will use the results of their research to alert the public and inform a campaign against upcoming consolidated waste storage proposals that would require a massive increase in the cross-country transport of decades’ worth of waste or “spent” reactor fuel rods.
