At the forefront of many of the issues facing the United States in the near future, the energy debate is a complex topic with often interconnected issues and multi-faceted solutions that are hard for people to agree on. At the heart of the topic though are two core components: the need to generate energy and the need to minimize the impact on the planet of energy generation. Whether we are talking about coal, hydroelectric, nuclear, solar, wind, or other renewable resources, no single source will fuel the future, and no single solution will protect the environment.

So, where do we start? How about at home here on the Colorado Plateau. Join us this year as the Powell Symposium takes a closer look at the energy issues that affect this unique region. From coal mining at Black Mesa to the coal-fired Navajo Generating Station to the Glen Canyon Dam to the future of renewable resources such as wind and solar, we will examine where we are and where we can go from here.

You are invited to join us Friday, September 17 - Sunday, September 19, 2010
