Georgia Reduces Carbon Footprint Despite Increasing Population

As more and more people move to metro Atlanta, we have somehow managed to reduce our carbon footprint in the state of Georgia. Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Eboni Deon learned exactly how this is possible. She spoke with Regents Professor at Georgia Tech, Dr. Marilyn Brown, who said tracking the changes in greenhouse gas emissions helps to find where we are making progress and where improvements are needed to meet climate goals and reduce climate change.

Georgia Tech’s Solar Energy Program Sets the Pace

Georgia Tech scientists played a critical role in the technology that led to a major investment in solar power in Georgia, and prompted a visit to the state from the Vice President.

Vice President Kamala Harris went to the Qcells facility in Dalton on Thursday. There, she announced the largest investment in solar energy in the country’s history.

Qcells is now the largest producer of solar panels in the western hemisphere.

As it turns out, Georgia Tech plays a key role in it all.
