WV legislature to hear about climate change

From OVEC:

WV E-Council lobbyist Vickie Wolfe says, "This legislative session, Delegate Barbara Fleischauer (D-Monongalia) introduced five energy-related bills. Only one passed; it will allow counties and municipalities to enter into contracts for energy savings. None of the others even made it onto a committee agenda. So, Barbara has taken it on herself to try to educate the legislature about climate change. She has lined up a speaker --Dr. Nikki Roy -- from the Pew Center on Global Climate Change to come to Charleston and address the legislature in the House Chamber (inside the State Capitol building) on Tuesday, March 11 at 1:00 p.m."
