Uncertain Climate Future Could Disrupt Energy Systems

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. An international team of scientists has published a new study proposing an optimization methodology for designing climate-resilient energy systems and to help ensure that communities will be able to meet future energy needs given weather and climate variability. Their findings were recently published in Nature Energy.
