New Story of Energy

Today, 9 Georgetown students infiltrated (with permission and es**rt of plant staff) a nuclear reactor. A huge round of applause goes to the GUSA Fund for giving us the wheels to get to Calvert Cliffs... God knows it would have taken a long time to walk there.

We're making inroads... GREEN, Georgetown's premier sustainability student group, has covered New Story on their blog. Be sure to check out GREEN's page to get involved with all the cool non-energy sustainability stuff they have going on!

Start spreading the news...

In case your enthusiasm for energy development knows no monetary (and scheduling) constraints, we encourage you to check out this fantastic energy symposium at Columbia University early next month. Unfortunately, the New Story wallet is a little dry, so we cannot support any major trips as much as we'd like to. But if you can, New York is as happening as usual, and this event looks like quite the party.

The Columbia Energy Symposium is the largest student-run energy event in NYC and explores and advanc

"1.21 Gigawatts?! Tom, how am I going to generate that kind of power?! It can't be done, it can't!!!"

Marty needs a lot of power to get back to the future... We need about 2000x as much just to get to the future in the first place. We hope that, just this once, Doc Brown was wrong.

"New Story of Energy" is an event series organized by Georgetown University students to take place throughout the Spring 2017 semester. It seeks to educate students on technologies that produce, store, and transmit renewable energy. The events include guest speakers, workshops for DIY projects (how to make a solar cooker or portable wind turbine), and tours of renewable energy plants.
