Drake Energy Forum

Pennsylvania non-profit dedicated to finding the nexus between energy and environmental security. The Forum's annual "Drake Dialogues" - held every October during peak fall foliage in Oil City and Titusville, Pennsylvania - are a unique opportunity for guests to get outside their respective “bubbles” and “echo chambers” to discuss national and global issues with residents of the area that gave birth to the modern energy industry. Following the discovery of oil at Drake Well in 1859, our area survived severe environmental destruction, boom-bust economic cycles, and more recently a decline in economic and physical infrastructure. It is today part of a key constituency in arguably America’s most important “swing” state and energy powerhouse - Pennsylvania.
