The Draft Environmental Impact Statement [EIS] for oil shale should be coming out by the end of the month, so hearing what spokespeople on both sides of the debate have to say about oil shale should be very educational and great timing!

The forum is on Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 7 pm in the Colorado Mesa University’s Ballroom. Featured speakers include Randy Udall [Energy analyst], Dr. Jeremy Boak [Colorado School of Mines] and Jim Spehar [former Mesa Co. Commissioner].

The forum is free and open to the public.  Sponsors include Mesa County Conservation Forum, Youth Policy Summit and the John McConnell Math & Science Center.
