The US Department of Energy has provided a good 1-page fact sheet on how changes in climate in the Southeast will affect energy use and production across the region in the coming years.  You can find it at https://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2015/10/f27/Southeast.pdf (at least until it magically disappears). If you are in another part of the country, you can access your report at https://energy.gov/maps/regional-climate-vulnerabilities-and-resilience-solutions.

From peanut farmer to solar farmer . . . A view of the new solar “farm” on land owned by former President Jimmy Carter, with the city of Plains seen in the background. Nearly four decades after he turned heads by installing solar panels on the White House roof as part of his push to increase “clean” energy use in America, Carter has leased part of his property to SolAmerica. The Atlanta based company says more than 50 percent of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter’s hometown will be solar-powered as a result.
