MIT researchers conclude fundamental changes in the US energy-innovation system are needed to meet challenges of climate change and energy supply

Green Car Congress

The build-up of greenhouse bases in the atmosphere continues unabated, and its environmental and human costs are mounting. The energy/climate debate of rent years has been dominated by the idea that the price of fossil fuels must be raised to reflect the full cost of their use. Business as usual is unsustainable over the long run.
