Panel Information
Pandora’s Promise Panel: Hosted by Ray Rothrock
A discussion on nuclear power and its impact on the current and future energy portfolio. What are the common biases against nuclear power and how did the documentary address these? Were there any major issues about safety or security that were omitted from the film? What research and innovations are the next step to creating a more secure energy situation in the US and how can the Southeast impact this progress?
Public Policy Panel: Hosted by Marilyn Brown
Energy Options for the Future, an economics and policy panel, will focus on the South’s current energy profile, it’s future based on current trends, and possibilities to improve the outlook for the future. How can the South achieve ambitious energy goals, and what decisions can take us there? What support and opposition will the transition to a future energy profile look like? How will the decisions made in the South impact the energy industry across the nation?
Georgia Tech Professor Panel: Hosted by Tim Lieuwen
