Sessions taking part in energy demonstrations Friday in Auburn, Opelika

U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions will take part in a pair of advanced energy technology demonstrations Friday at Auburn University and at Eastwood Christian School in Opelika.

The demonstration at Auburn, at the School of Forestry, will begin at 11:15 a.m., while the demonstration in Opelika starts at 1:15 p.m.

Sessions, a member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, is taking part of a 14-stop week-long energy tour of Alabama. Friday’s visit will complete the tour.

Sessions is using the tour to highlight the need for a comprehensive national energy program that focuses on increasing production of American energy, developing new technology to improve efficiency and conservation, and transitioning to greater usage of clean, reliable American-based nuclear power.
