Marilyn Brown, Regents' Professor and Brook Byers Professor of Sustainable Systems in the School of Public Policy, was quoted in an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The article discusses how Georgia Power is continuing its transitions away from coal as its source of energy.

An excerpt:

“What do we replace the coal with? That is the big question,” said Marilyn Brown, a Georgia Tech professor of sustainable systems who previously served on the board of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the nation’s largest public power provider.
