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.

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.
