O CANADA, ILLINOIS’ SOURCE OF GAS AND FUEL
Did you know that most of Illinois’ energy comes from north of the border?
WHO: Anne Charles, Consul General of Canada
Energy industry leaders and scholars
WHAT: How does Illinois, the state with the highest per capita demand for residential natural gas, maintain secure, stable access to oil, petroleum and natural gas, especially when sub-zero temperatures hit or gas prices rise? Through a strong, yet unknown partnership with Canada, the largest foreign supplier of natural gas, electricity and uranium to the United States. With a natural gas pipeline that connects Joliet and Alberta and state imports of more than $4.5 billion in crude petroleum and natural gas from Canada in 2002, Illinois’ economy and personal comfort relies heavily on Canadian energy. The Canada-Illinois Energy Connection Seminar will educate and inform attendees about how Canadian energy affects their lives, their economy and their future and discuss Canada’s contributions to a safe and secure supply that contributes to U.S. energy security and national security.
WHEN: Friday, March 26, 2004: 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
WHERE: McCloska Auditorium, The McCormick Tribune Campus Center, 3201 S. State Street, Chicago on the Main Campus of Illinois Institute of Technology.
