Energy at the Crossroads

The Energy at the Crossroads Tour is coming to Raleigh on Tuesday, May 9. Sponsored by the Asheville, N.C.-based Canary Coalition and the Nuclear Information and Resource Service's Southeast Office, the eight-state tour aims to draw attention to the energy decisions facing residents of the Southeast, and to press for alternatives that protect the health of humans and the natural environment.

The tour's Raleigh stop will open with a 9 a.m. press conference in the Senate Press Room of the Legislative Building at 16 W. Jones St. At 7 p.m. there will be a free public forum that will open with a showing of the 30-minute documentary film "Kilowatt Hours" followed by discussion. The forum will take place at the Community United Church of Christ at 814 Dixie Trail.
