The buzz has gone national about the Philadelphia region becoming the next energy and feedstock hub. On Dec. 5, a landmark event in the history of the Philadelphia region took place when Drexel University hosted the first top-level Energy Summit called “Greater Philadelphia: The Next Energy Hub.” Top business, government and labor leaders, investors, and thought leaders from our area and all over the nation and the world were here to discuss the riches our region offers to become an energy and feedstock jobs juggernaut.

The event was conceived and designed by the Greater Philadelphia Energy Action Team (GPEAT), which was started by a group—that includes co-author Michael L. Krancer—more than one year ago as a catalyst for creating a national and global buzz about the opportunities our region offers for responsible economic growth—opportunities of a magnitude never before seen in this area in our lifetime—and executing on them.
