A forum addressing climate change, energy conservation and related topics was hosted by the WSU Tri-Cities Environmental Club earlier this week. Eugene Wilkie, owner of Now! Solar and a Solar Washington Board Member spoke with residents concerning how to go solar and conserve energy use.

Also speaking was Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) climate scientist and Tri-Cities Citizens' Climate Lobby president Dr. Steve Ghan (pictured) who presented the causes and science behind climate change. WSU Professor Lori Nelson also spoke on the consequences and mitigation of climate change. Special thanks to Chandra Romel for organizing the event and facilitating Solar Washington's presence at the event.
