GLIN==> Tonight! Exploring Our Energy Future Forum: 7-9PM, Grand Rapids Community College ATC Auditorium Room 168

Energy Economics: The Role of Reduced Energy Demand and Clean Energy Jobs in
Preserving West Michigan Wealth

A concentrated regional effort to significantly decrease the amount of
energy used by West Michigan communities could provide an unparalleled
decrease in the costs of living and doing business in West Michigan.
Meanwhile, the development of a clean energy economy could reignite the
region's industrial sector with new jobs and opportunities.  Whether your
economics prefer supply-side or demand, there is no denying that West
Michigan's economic future is closely linked to its energy future.
