Approximately 325 residents from communities throughout mid-Missouri gathered in Columbia on Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2007, to discuss the state’s and nation’s energy future. The Conversation on Energy town hall meeting, the 30th stop for ConocoPhillips on a nationwide listening tour, provided an opportunity for guests to share views on energy issues and gain insight and information from a panel of experts.

Other panelists included Floyd Gilzow, deputy director for public policy, Missouri Department of Natural Resources; Katie Smith, director, Missouri Department of Agriculture; and James Fischer, founder, Fischer and Associates.
