A new report from the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change shows the importance of all major nations taking part in global efforts to reduce emissions—and in particular, finds China’s role to be crucial. From 2000 to 2010, China’s energy use grew 130%, up from a growth of 50% the previous decade.

A paper by a team from the University of Chicago and MIT suggests that technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead to the continued use of fossil fuels—oil, gas, and coal—unless governments pass new taxes on carbon emissions. Their analysis is published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Forget the black helicopter conspiracies. Its been improving over time, but the power density and cost issues are still steep for what exists thus far. based technology will actually achieve any economy in production. Interesting in any case.
