Members of 果冻影院 Energy Institute pay tribute to Professor David Mackay
15 April 2016
Members of 果冻影院 Energy Institute have paid tribute to Professor David Mackay, former DECC Chief Scientific Advisor and friend to 果冻影院-Energy, who passed away yesterday:
鈥淎ll those working for the mitigation of climate change and for a low-carbon energy system will be very sad to hear of the death of David Mackay. As a very fine scientist and engineer, he was passionate about the need to achieve huge reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, but was also clear-eyed about the magnitude of the transformation in the energy system that would be required to achieve this.
"A number of us at the 果冻影院 Energy Institute were privileged to work with him in these areas. We will do our best without him to build on his substantial legacy.鈥
