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

Dr. Timothy Lieuwen, Director of the Strategic Energy Institute at Georgia Tech said he is excited about the demonstration — particularly because it is the world’s largest. He feels it signals a moving away from fossil fuels. In particular, he feels Georgia is stepping up to be not only a regional leader, but “a national leader.”
“I’m so excited. What happened there is kind of historic, so it’s really cool to know we aren’t late [to the game] but actually leaders,” Lieuwen said. “The work that we’ve done at Georgia Tech in our lab to develop the technologies 15 years ago, working with these companies that are commercializing it — it’s exciting to see the fingerprints of what I’ve personally done, and the larger group I’m working with, our fingerprints in these demos.”
