This constraint places a severe limit on the amount of climate-friendly HRJ that can be produced within the next decade. To improve air quality, the adoption of a reduced-sulfur standard or a ULS jet fuel should be considered, but economic and climate costs and benefits must be weighed carefully. From Hileman et al.

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. As one MIT report found, on average, “a fully electric vehicle emits about 25 percent less carbon than a comparable hybrid car.” A straightforward switch can create a substantial positive effect.

And now a team of researchers at MIT have pioneered a new way of generating probabilistic bits ( p-bits ) at much higher rates—using photonics to harness random quantum oscillations in empty space. But in a new paper published in the latest issue of the journal Science the MIT team have created the first ever photonic p-bit.

An analysis by a team from the University of California, Davis, MIT and Yale suggests that households that buy a fuel-efficient vehicle tend to compensate for that purchase by buying a bigger, more powerful second vehicle. A central objective of my research as an environmental economist is to identify ways to fight global climate change.
