Background:
Northwestern Pennsylvania provides myriad perspectives on and avenues for exploration of energy resources and energy issues.
Historical, contemporary, future, controversial, conventional, unconventional, extractive, renewable, innovative and beyond, a wide
array of energy resources and issues are connected to our corner of the state and nearby environs. We will consider many of these as
part of this assignment.
