Commentary in Nature Urges Public Sector to “Back the Renewables Boom”

Contradicting conservatives, Jessika Trancik declares “government support for energy-technology development is paying off.”

Jessika Trancik, a former Rhodes Scholar holding a 2002 Oxford PhD in materials science, has two main affiliations and one main research interest. The MIT website’s first line about her says she focuses on accelerating the development of energy technologies. The Santa Fe Institute’s first line about her cites “performance trajectories of energy systems.” In the 20 March issue of Nature, she forcefully challenges political conservatives on renewable-energy policy.
