Mark Jacobson Becomes Famous Beyond the World of Energy Modeling

Mark Jacobson became famous beyond the world of energy modeling because various Hollywood celebrities working in the clean energy space decided that he was telling them what they wanted to hear. Now, why would Bernie Sanders want to work with a guy like Mark Jacobson? Well, if you're in a state like Vermont where 80% of your electricity comes from a single nuclear reactor, turning that off would seem to blow a pretty profound hole in your energy system. So he became the energy guru to say Mark Rufalo and to Leonardo DiCaprio and their foundations. And he became the guy for Bernie Sanders.
