Vets have energy message

SCRANTON – Veterans on the “Operation Free” bus tour were joined Thursday morning at the Lackawanna County Courthouse by Mayor Chris Doherty and a group of area veterans to advocate alternative energy sources.

Doherty and representatives from the offices of U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, and U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Nanticoke, spoke to encourage support.

The tour is sponsored by Operation Free, a coalition of veterans and national security groups working together to raise awareness about national security threats posed by climate change and the importance of building a clean energy economy that is not tied to fossil fuels.
