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.

A new MIT report outlines a system-oriented set of coordinated policies to help the light-duty vehicle sector reduce petroleum-based consumption and its accompanying global warming emissions. We emphasize that this policy portfolio is not a substitute for an economy-wide carbon management policy (such as a carbon tax or cap-and-trade system).

government was going to try a whole bunch of different government interventions—incentive programs, tax credits, grants, infrastructure investments—to bend the trajectory of our energy transition. So when I went to MIT to do my Ph.D., There’s just so much that is contingent and unknowable. I and Nestor Sepulveda , who was also a Ph.D.

Based on the interim results of a new study, MIT researchers are warning smaller nations to proceed with caution in pursuing the development of their natural gas resources. The cost for these smaller nations makes up a larger portion of their economies, so before spending the money, they need to have the proper expectations.

However, the flexibility and lower costs of PHEVs appear to trump this simplicity, certainly in the nearer term. The MIT Energy Initiative is MIT’s hub for energy research, education, and outreach. MITEI’s study on “Mobility of the Future” will explore these and other questions.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technologies are not yet competitive due primarily to the high cost of advanced batteries. Ford and SCE will explore whether these batteries have other uses that could reduce their cost to consumers. But we want to give them cause to continue to press forward." ( MIT Technology Review ).

Earlier this month, researchers from MIT said they had developed a process that within three years could lead to electric car batteries able to recharge in as little as five minutes. The thing that bothers me the most about Tesla is not the range or cost of driving an EV. The price goes up with demand and usage. cents a a mile, 1.3
