The IEPC Roundtable event that was held in Washington D.C. on September 22, 2011 was a great success. The dialogue centered around Natural Gas and the perception both within the general public and the energy industry. Debate broke out that brought about several poignant topics that were discussed in detail, contributing to a very well rounded conversation. More details will be forthcoming from this event.
