Emily Leslie is the founder of Montara Mountain Energy and is a Stanford alumna who also teaches in Spring Quarter the course called Spatial Planning for Gigascale Renewables & Transmission (CEE 176M / 276M). She is an expert in scenario analysis and maps inform decisions at ​the largest scale in California's energy economy. This is your chance to gain a more vivid perspective on how that works, and what it means.
