Highlights from PennFuture's Post-Election Forum

Before a packed house at The Civic Club of Harrisburg, PennFuture hosted a Post-Election Forum on Energy and the Environment. Panelists included Rep. Kate Harper, Rep. Greg Vitali, PennLive's opinion editor John Micek, PennFuture President Cindy Dunn, and -- yours truly -- director of outreach, Andrew Sharp. Political scientist and pollster Dr. Terry Madonna delivered the keynote address.

If you couldn't make it, we've assembled a sampling of tweets from the event. Topics included drilling in parks, clean air, land, and water, methane regulations, and what Governor-elect TomWolf's 100-day agenda would look like.

The @WolfForPA administration will have many challenges to address viz air/water/land says @CindyDunnPA. #PFForum
