The Radnor Democrats Environment & Energy subcommittee is pleased to announce the second event in our 2012 natural gas seminar series. We are honored to host John Hanger, the former Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection, as our guest speaker.

The title of Mr. Hanger's presentation is, "The Truth and Nothing But the Truth About America's Energy Choices." The session will provide a comprehensive overview of issues pertaining to energy policy - including the Marcellus Shale, hydraulic fracturing (fracking), and associated issues pertaining to natural gas.  Opportunities for Q&A will follow.

The presentation will be held in the Winsor Room of the Radnor Memorial Library on Wednesday, May 16th, at 3:00 p.m. The event is free and open to all ages and political affiliations.
