Anna Erickson, professor in the School of Aerospace Engineering spoke with Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino about the push to revive the #nuclear energy sector. She explains why the public and private sectors are investing in reactor technology and restarting retired plants. The system, though, still faces cost, safety and regulatory issues.

Who is SEI and what do we do? We integrate energy activities across the GT campus, promoting strong, multi-disciplinary collaborations, sponsor workshops and energy events, and create partnerships between GT researchers and gov., industry, and NGO's. Do you have thoughts on what we can do in the future to help build a strong energy research ecosystem for GT researchers? Let us know in the comments! https://lnkd.in/eEmXwcfM

We partnered with Georgia Tech Strategic Energy Institute and Georgia Institute of Technology’s Energy Policy & Innovation Center to host the Southeastern Workshop on Energy & Environmental Economics & Policy (SWEEEP), bringing together energy and environmental economists and policy researchers from all over the Southeast

Georgia Tech Assistant Professor Pengfei Liu of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences had some surprising findings when he researched the connection between health and atmospheric chemistry in the Southeastern US. Chief among them was that if "we can reduce the temperature sensitivity to air pollutants and then a warmer summer will not mean terrible air pollution."
