There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

As Georgia Power looks at ways to reduce its reliance on coal for producing electricity, it may turn to natural gas in its soon-to-be-released 20-year energy plan. Colleen Kiernan (MCRP '07), president of the Sierra Club's Georgia Chapter, commented "(Relying so heavily on natural gas) is kind of a big gamble. It's a pendulum switch," and favors a diverse fuel portfolio.
