In August 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released the Clean Power Plan, which aims to
reduce carbon pollution from the U.S. power sector to 32% below 2005 levels by 2030. Georgia must
submit its initial state plan for implementing the Clean Power Plan by September 2016. Georgia Tech and
Climate@Emory are co-hosting a Town Hall meeting to explore the key decisions Georgia must make in
developing its state plan and the potential impacts these decisions will have on our environment, our
economy, our pocketbooks and our health. This event is intended to engage a broad range of
stakeholders, including policymakers, practitioners, students, and the general public.

Four faculty at Georgia Tech participated in a debate focusing on the theses of the newly published textbook (Climate Change and Global Energy Security) coauthored by Marilyn Brown (Georgia Tech) and Benjamin Sovacool (Vermont Law School). The book submits that our world already has most of the sustainable energy technologies it needs to do this, but it faces a system of reinforcing barriers that support incumbent technologies, handicap innovation, and prevent change.
