A Presentation by Citizens for Affordable Energy

New England Women in Energy and the Environment (NEWIEE) and Mintz Levin are pleased to sponsor

A Presentation by Citizens for Affordable Energy

Citizens for Affordable Energy is a nonprofit organization that seeks to educate people to make informed decisions around the production and use of all forms of energy. Beginning with a short history of how civilization has harnessed the power of energy through various sources such as wood, coal, oil, and most recently, renewable sources, we will examine the disconnect between policies created to promote the business of energy and how Americans use energy.

We will also discuss why an organization such as Citizens for Affordable Energy is necessary. We will close our discussion by suggesting a simple, straightforward plan for 21st century energy production.
