TCL is energized and positioned to advance the latest technology in alternative energy. Truly, with the help of key partners, the College will champion causes that put our region in a position to embrace future job creation with smart decisions that are good for the environment and economically viable for consumers. The best part is the jobs that result from innovative solutions.
It is truly exciting to see community members and partnerships working to solve energy-related issues. It makes sense to examine problems, but it is far more exciting to be leading the discussion and helping create the responsive solution. There are many examples, but for one, consider the work occurring in TCL’s Industrial and Engineering Technology Division. Grant funds help us reach new levels and challenge our students to think differently about the energy-related conditions we face. The future demands creativity. New LEED-certified options stressing solar, wind and tidal power generation has gained substantial momentum of late. I invite you to watch what happens when creative minds get involved.
The dedication of the new “solar array” at TCL’s New River Campus gives us a claim that we mean business in the arena of smart energy decisions. On behalf of our students and the broader community, I offer by sincere thanks to Santee Cooper and Palmetto Electric for working with TCL. We pledge our continued support to advancing technology and creating jobs with a green tint.
