Dinner Meeting
Details
Hello Everyone,
Mark your calendar for the upcoming Dinner Meeting to be held at 5:00 PM, Sunday, July 28, 2013. In keeping with the “Humanist” component of our organization, we feature educational programs at our monthly Dinner Meetings that cover a broad range of topics of interest to the membership.
This month’s featured speaker is Dr. Timothy Maloney who will be presenting on proposed new technology in energy generation. The energy sources our country currently depends on include the following:
-
wind
-
solar
-
hydro
-
fossil-fuel power plant
-
nuclear power plant
Dr. Maloney advocates employing a revolutionary means of energy generation in nuclear power plants that would use the chemical element “thorium” instead of “uranium” which is currently used in nuclear reactors. Count on being enlightened by Dr. Maloney’s presentation on the Cost Effectiveness and Numerous Environmental Benefits in Thorium-Fueled Nuclear Energy.
