Local Responses to Energy Descent

The September 17 BTD meeting will feature a panel discussion presented by contributors to TCLocal (www.tclocal.org), the Tompkins County relocalization group. TCLocal works on strategies for local adaptation to the near-term future of our energy supply and the economic implications of altered resources. Following a newly prepared summary of the liquid fuel supply outlook for 2010-2020 by Jon Bosak, TCLocal contributors Karl North, Katie Quinn-Jacobs, Bethany Schroeder, and Tom Shelley will discuss local responses to the economic and material challenges of the coming decade in the areas of agriculture, preparedness, health care, and energy. The meeting begins 7 p.m. at the Trumansburg Fire Hall.
