ItemChoosing Our Energy Future: Town Hall Discussion of Georgia’s Options for Implementing the Clean Power Plan(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-09-28) Rochberg, Daniel ; Brown, Marilyn A. ; Kelly, Kevin ; Hays, Karen ; Elliott, Michael ; Simoglou, Costas ; Strickland, Matthew J. ; Rumley, MaKara ; Matisoff, Daniel C. ; Southworth, KatieIn 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.

ItemGoing Green: Sustainable Technologies(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-04-19) Brown, Marilyn A. ; Lively, Ryan P. ; Simpson, MarkDr. Ryan Lively, a Postdoctoral Scholar in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, at Georgia Tech, delivered a presentation on novel low-energy intensity separations for biofuels, focusing the potential of Algenol processes for alternative energy production. Mr. Mark Simpson, doctoral student in Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech, presented: “The Solar Vortex: Electrical Power Generation Using Buoyancy-Induced Vortices.” Mr. Simpson explored how artificially induced vortices could be harnessed to capture thermal energy. He presented his prototype technology for this purpose, identified the low environmental impact of this novel technology, and presented preliminary findings of its energy efficiency relative to traditional energy sources. Dr. Marilyn Brown delivered a presentation entitled: “The Closing Door on 450 ppm CO or 2° C Rise in Global Temperature.” Dr. Brown addressed the critical role of energy efficiency in meeting national and international energy consumption and CO emissions reductions. Georgia Tech and Duke University have collaborated to advance research in this area and are the only two universities in the U.S. that utilize the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) to model and forecast energy consumption. The NEMS is the major system utilized by the U.S. Energy Information Administration for such energy modeling and forecasting.

ItemEconomic Development and the Clean Economy(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-01-25) Pollin, Robert ; Brown, Marilyn A. ; Porzecanski, RobertoAccording to “Sizing the Clean Economy” by the Brookings Institution: The clean economy, which employs some 2.7 million workers, encompasses a significant number of jobs in establishments spread across a diverse group of industries. Though modest in size, the clean economy employs more workers than the fossil fuel industry and bulks larger than bioscience but remains smaller than the IT-producing sectors. Most clean economy jobs reside in mature segments that cover a wide swath of activities including manufacturing and the provision of public services such as wastewater and mass transit. A smaller portion of the clean economy encompasses newer segments that respond to energy-related challenges. These include the solar photovoltaic (PV), wind, fuel cell, smart grid, biofuel, and battery industries. In the context of the Southeast, Georgia and Metro Atlanta, where are these jobs found and what are the prospects for future job creation?

ItemClimate Change and Global Energy Security: Debate and Book Signing(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-11-11) Brown, Marilyn A. ; Sovacool, Benjamin K. ; Curry, Judith A. ; McGrath, Robert T. ; Norton, Bryan G. ; Orlando, Thomas M. ; Deitchman, BenjaminFour 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.

ItemThe Moral Equivalent of War: Energy Rhetoric during the Carter Years(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-01-22) Honeycutt, Lee ; Brown, Marilyn A.Many people attribute the failure of Jimmy Carter's forward-looking 1977 national energy plan to opposition from entrenched corporate powers, but the plan's fate also relates to the changing role of rhetoric in the American presidency. From his early fireside chat on energy to the "moral malaise" speech late in his term, Carter seemed unable to reconcile traditional policy tasks with the rising importance of the bully pulpit in shaping public opinion. In this talk, Lee Honeycutt shows how rhetorical lessons from the Carter years provide insight into how the new administration might craft its rhetoric on future energy policy. Includes a response from GT School of Public Policy Professor Marilyn Brown.
