The TAG Sustainability Talk podcast goes live from the 2026 Super South conference, where host Drew Bacchus and Rick Wrenn capture the dynamic energy of cleantech innovators across the Southeast.1Featuring:

• Lisa Sachs (Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment): Discusses the necessity of systems change in sectors like energy and mobility, and highlights futuristic innovations, such as the ability to create water from air moisture for agriculture and data center cooling. She stresses the need to bridge disciplines and perspectives to accelerate solutions.1
• Andy Montgomery (Indoor Farm Foundation): Introduces Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA)—massive greenhouses that use 90% less water than open-field farming. Learn how co-locating these facilities with energy plants and data centers utilizes waste heat and captured CO2 to dramatically reduce operating costs.1
• Young Professionals Aru and Shui: Share their work in community outreach for extreme heat resiliency planning in coastal cities and their insights on material engineering and the environmental impacts of sustainable tech growth in Atlanta.1

This episode is a dynamic, fast-paced look at the future of sustainable innovation.
