Energy Efficiency Myths, April 28th in the Library

Is there such a thing as “Clean Coal”? How has Ethanol saved you money? Are replacement windows a quick payback for your investment? Does sealing up your house with insulation cause worse problems? We will talk about answers to these questions and others during this seasonal wrap up. Come and ask questions about efficiency and our future when Ashby’s Energy Efficiency Committee presents its 4th in a series of energy seminars.

Our presenter will be local conservative Bill Stanwood, who over the past 30 years has gathered knowledge, opinions, and experience in an assortment of environmental and energy related subjects.

On April 28, 2011 at 7 PM at the Ashby Free Public Library Bill will be sharing his perspective on very important questions that will effect our futures and the futures of our children and our grandchildren. Are there solutions? What should we be doing now? Can you stump the conservative? These and other questions will be addressed.

Join us and bring your questions. This presentation will also be broadcast live on Comcast local channel 8/9.
