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. The study was supported in part by the MIT Energy Initiative. Heywood et al., Taxes on motor vehicle fuels should be increased by $0.10

But with Moore's Law cranking along at a steady pace, there was every reason to think that the cost of computing power would come down sufficiently within a decade or so. Then we figured out how to move those objects, shade them, and light them before rendering them as frames of a movie. George and Marcia Lucas divorced in 1983.

Those objections added to the concerns environmentalists were raising about the ozone layer—a scenario seemingly justified a few years later by MIT researchers, who concluded that a future fleet of 500 supersonic airliners would deplete the ozone layer by 16 percent. Clearly, nobody would accept stone-fracturing sonic booms.
