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. Currently battery costs for an electric vehicle are about $325 per kWh.

Without CCS, the world will have to abandon its reliance on fossil fuels much sooner—and that will come at a cost. The costs of most clean energy technologies fell more rapidly than anticipated. Vehicle downsizing has enabled considerable efficiency improvements, particularly in OECD regions and since 2005.
