Energy-system models that marry engineering, physics, economics, and policy constraints and concerns allow us to test assumptions, explore actions, and build intuitions about how those systems work. The best we can do is to build tools that allow us to explore possible futures.” So when I went to MIT to do my Ph.D.,
