Energy & Economics

Join Us For a Lunch & Learn with Dr. Sam Shelton


The public is inundated with energy news that is contradictory and confusing. Come listen and ask questions about our current and future energy technologies and economics. Why did gasoline move from $1.50/gal to $4.00/gal and back down to $1.50 in a very short time? Is coal, nuclear, wind, or solar the best technology to meet our increasing electricity demand? What about our automobile technologies like hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and electric cars? What are the status and economics of alternative energy technologies? The technology and economic issues surrounding these questions will be discussed and put into perspective by Dr. Sam Shelton, Founding Director of the Georgia Tech Strategic Energy Initiative.

If you're interested in attending this seminar, which includes lunch, on May 11, at 11:45 a.m. at the Best Western Lafayette Garden Inn call the chamber at 706-884-8671. The cost is $15.
