GE Opening Tourist Attraction to Explain ‘Smart Grid’
(Atlanta Journal Constitution) — Atlanta has launched tourist centers to commemorate fish, soda pop, civil rights, patriotism, a President and the Civil War. But electrons?
People behind the $15 million GE Smart Grid Technology Center of Excellence in Cobb County believe the so-called customer experience showcase to open on the ground floor of the center in October will be a legitimate attraction for science geeks and novices alike. It will have video demonstrations and interactive displays to help explain exactly what the smart grid is, and why it’s the future.
