Greater Greener Georgia

Georgia Conservation Voters and its partners are committed to reaching 100% clean, renewable energy in the state of Georgia by the year 2050. One of the ways we can achieve that is through legislation. Here to tell you more about that, is GCV’s very own, Jesus Rubio in an exclusive interview with Lobbyist, Doug Teper.
