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

Researchers at Georgia Tech are developing sound strategies to address the critical economic and policy, security, and sustainable development considerations associated with energy generation, distribution and use. Fostering a collaborative approach to problem solving, researchers are helping to ensure safer, more reliable, and affordable supplies of energy to meet needs now and in the future.
The economy, environment and our national security are inextricably intertwined with our energy decisions. Achieving a more secure energy future in an environment of rapidly rising global demand and competition for energy resources from developing countries, increasing instability in energy producing regions such as the Middle East, and growing environmental concerns, will require countries to more closely examine the implications of policy decisions at all levels of government – local regional, national and global – and develop more integrated and effective global strategies.
