example research questions: 1. How does uncertainty in technology-specific characteristics (e.g., capital cost of solar PV) affect outcomes of interest (e.g., fuel prices, fossil fuel consumption, air emissions)? 2. Which technologies and fuels appear to be robust options given uncertainty in future climate policy and rates of technology learning? 3. How much flexibility exists in energy system design and at what cost?
