Michael Craig — Decarbonizing the Electric Power Sector in a Warming World
University of Michigan professor examines how climate change itself complicates the transition to clean energy — from solar degradation to grid infrastructure.

Why we picked this
The catch-22 nobody talks about: climate change is degrading the very infrastructure we need to fight climate change. Craig's research maps the problem.
Michael Craig directs the ASSET Lab at the University of Michigan and holds an NSF CAREER Award for his research on energy system decarbonization. His work examines a problem that doesn’t get enough attention: climate change itself is making the clean energy transition harder — from heat degrading solar panels to extreme weather threatening transmission infrastructure.
