“EPIC’s dedication to rigorous data-driven research and analysis is both unique and vital in this age of hyper-polarization around climate, energy and environmental issues. I look forward to learning from and working with the experts at the University of Chicago and to share this robust research in ways that are relevant for decision makers and the public.”
