There has been a mini-explosion for Georgia in the clean energy technology (cleantech) space over the past couple of years. And the Technology Association of Georgia’s Business & Technology Alliance (B&TA) is responding by putting together an event around the subject for later in the year.

We have enlisted the aid of Wes McDowell, CIO of Georgia Power to help put together the event.

If you are aware of Georgia-based investors or companies that are playing in the alternative energy, renewable/sustainable energy, or some other segment of the cleantech space, I welcome you to reach out to them and have them contact me through this blog (or just drop a comment below), so we can see how they may be able to participate in the event.

I’m not an cleantech expert, but the space does fascinate me.

And in case you haven’t heard, Vinod Khosla recently committed north of $200M to build a wood-based cellulosic ethanol plant here in Georgia. That is definitely an investment in the long term, and it will be interesting to see how it pans out. Vinod is a rockstar VC with a proven track record.
Cheers.
