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. What was the maximum share of wind that we could have in the system without blowing it up—5 percent or 20 percent or 30 percent? So when I went to MIT to do my Ph.D.,
