Telecasts of oil drilling symposium to air on 4FSU (Comcast Channel 4)

This week, the Florida State University Institute for Energy Systems, Economics and Sustainability hosted the “Florida Symposium on Offshore Energy, Part II: The Inshore Challenges of Offshore Energy Prospects” to advance a public dialogue on the many issues that must be addressed in any offshore drilling proposal that the state of Florida may consider over the next year.
