SUSTAINABLE ATLANTA ROUNDTABLE

 

"The Sustainable Atlanta Roundtable provides an excellent overview of what's going on across our community on so many important issues - transportation, building ordinances and water, to name a few. It's also a great place to network!"

Upcoming Sustainable Atlanta Roundtable Topic:

Georgia's Solar Future
Friday, April 9, 2010

Despite Georgia’s abundant potential, our state lags in the development of renewable energy resources. Ultimately, a combination of increasing levels of energy efficiency and renewable energy will be required to meet ambitious carbon reduction goals set in the United States by the federal government, ASHRAE, USGBC, AIA, and other NGOs*. Solar Power may be uniquely positioned in Georgia to create both jobs and to distribute green power once political and economic barriers are mitigated. Our panelists will discuss whether improving political realities, existing financial incentives and real world market factors can lead to large scale deployment of renewable energy in Georgia.
