While less than five bioenergy companies are operational in Georgia today, over 80 are considering locating or starting up in our state. With these companies choosing Georgia and with our many resources to support bioenergy, Georgia is positioned to emerge as a national and global leader in the bioenergy revolution. What makes Georgia such a bioenergy-friendly state? "Several factors are key," explained Bill Boone, director of th...

Their primary enemy is anthrax. In order to stop this enemy, six months ago Dr. Stump and Ms. Worthy formed EMThrax, a start-up bio-tech company dedicated to developing a new and more effective vaccine for anthrax, as well as other bioterrorism agents. "Our ultimate goal is to produce an FDA approved vaccine that the U.S. government will cont...
