My project focuses on increasing awareness, civic engagement, and climate literacy around the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC)—a state entity that makes critical decisions about energy costs, utility regulation, and the pace of Georgia’s transition to clean energy. Despite its enormous influence, the PSC is one of the least understood and lowest-turnout elections in the state, especially during off-year cycles.
To address this gap, I organized “Your Power Bill, Your Climate, Your Choice,” a public summit hosted at the Kendeda Building in partnership with Georgia Tech SOS, the GT Energy Club, Grist, and the Southern Environmental Law Center. The event brought together journalists, policy experts, advocates, and students for an accessible, solutions-focused conversation about energy affordability, climate impacts, and how young voters can meaningfully shape the PSC election. The project aims to make complex policy understandable, empower student voices, and mobilize informed civic participation.
