The first part program will focus on the science, the process, and the risks of carbon capture and storage, as well as how CCS will impact our community.  The panelists will address what is involved, what the community needs to know, and concerns of the people who will be directly impacted.  The second portion of this educational and topical subject will focus on strategies, tactics and actions.
