Abstract
This paper compares the work by Mark Jacobson et al. of 100% renewables to the rigors of long-run utility system planning. This comparison to integrated resource planning (IRP) allows comparison between assumptions used by Jacobson to results from real-world planning studies. Seven criteria are proposed for designing such a study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
