The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

Jesse Jenkins, Princeton University When I entered the field, commercial wind was starting to scale up and the questions were about engineering feasibility. And there are states like Georgia where public interveners don’t have any right to discovery. A year ago, we weren’t even having this conversation.
