Consumer Federation of America Calls for LDV CAFE Standard of 60 MPG for 2025
The report combines estimates of technology cost from the National Academy of Sciences and MIT with the costs benefit analysis previously prepared by the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to derive its estimates of what is technologically feasible and economically justified.

  • MIT Breakthrough - Instant plug-in charging
    MIT scientists have figured out a way to "charge and discharge batteries in a matter of seconds rather than hours" using conventional battery technology, which could enable not just much quicker charging, but lighter batteries. MIT via InsideLine. The key to charging in minutes rather than several hours?

  • MIT Students Develop Hydraulic Energy-Generating Shock Absorbers
    team of MIT undergraduate students has invented a shock absorber that harnesses energy from small bumps in the road, generating electricity while it smoothes the ride more effectively than conventional shocks. They filed for a patent last year and formed a company, called Levant Power Corp. GenShock prototype. Click to enlarge.

  • MIT Year End Energy Review touts PHEVs
    The MIT Technology Review reports plug-in hybrids a big 2006 energy story: "The plug-in hybrid-vehicle era begins. For years, hobbyists and a few companies have been adding bigger battery packs to hybrid vehicles, which have both battery power and an internal combustion engine, and plugging them into electrical outlets.

  • MIT Technology Review on GM/PHEVs
    But in reality, plug-in hybrids will likely use a blended strategy, relying on the gasoline engine to boost power for acceleration or for climbing hills even during the first 20 miles. In areas powered primarily by coal, a plug-in might not be better for the environment than a good hybrid, says Nicholas Twork, a spokesman for Ford.

  • MIT Researchers Discover New Method to Generate Electricity: Thermopower Waves
    team of scientists at MIT has discovered and demonstrated a previously unknown phenomenon that creates self-propagating waves with high thermal conductivity and with electric pulses of very high specific power, up to 7 kW/kg. The amount of power released, he says, is much greater than that predicted by thermoelectric calculations.

  • MIT Report Finds Natural Gas Has Significant Potential to Displace Coal, Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Role in Transportation More Limited
    Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).
