Good words

Our energy and mobility systems are designed for the era of $10-a-barrel oil, an era that is long gone, and not coming back. Without planning ahead to a future where fossil fuels are not our primary source of energy, our region will remain dependent on a diminishing, increasingly expensive resource with well-documented impacts on both the environment and the world’s geopolitical stability. Moving away from oil dependence and meeting our greenhouse gas emission goals will mean building more energy-efficient communities. This in turn will affect everything from the design of our transportation systems to the design of our streets.

It’s time we had a real conversation about investing in a transportation system that recognizes climate change, peak oil, and sustainable solutions.

The Cleveland-Pittsburgh-Youngstown Regional Learning Network is an opportunity for the three cities to explore common concerns related to development, share best practices, and identify opportunities for collaboration.

The keynote speaker will be John Austin, director of the Great Lakes Economic Initiative of the Brookings Institution.
