PROBLEM STATEMENT
Customer – Citizen for Affordable Energy http://www.citizensforaffordableenergy.org/
John Hofmeister – Former President of Shell Oil Company
Develop a simulation framework capable of simulating the results of various energy plans for different energy models.
Create a non-partisan plan for the U.S. energy system for the next 50 years which ensures energy is available, affordable, and sustainable.
Verify the plan produces desired results by developing an energy model of the U.S. energy system and running the plan and model on the simulation framework.
Make the plan and results readily available to the public.
SPECIFICATION
I. Model of the US Energy Industry
II. Best-case, average-case, and worst-case 50-year plans for the energy industry
