Macon was the 23rd stop on a 35-city Conversation on Energy tour – a town hall forum to discuss the state’s and nation’s energy future. Nearly 100 middle Georgia residents gathered on Sept. 6 to discuss energy policy, issues and potential solutions at the meeting, co-hosted by ConocoPhillips, Mercer University and Macon State College. With support from 12 community partners – including the Georgia Department of Agriculture, the Georgia Forestry Commission and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce – residents, business leaders and industry officials shared views on energy issues and gained insight from a panel of experts.
Bob Ridge, vice president of Health, Safety & Environment, and Colette Reynolds, manager of Non-Conventional Gas, represented ConocoPhillips on the panel. Other panelists included Clint Thompson, principal of Thompson, Hoffman & Company; George M. Israel, III, president and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce; and Charise Stephens, executive director of the Middle Georgia Clean Cities Coalition. Dr. Peter Brown, senior vice provost of Mercer University, served as the panel’s moderator.
