In the near-term pre-CCS era, with a low cost of carbon, the economical solution for power providers is to vent the CO 2 and pay the fees, passing on the costs to customers. Over time, however, as the CO 2 price increases, it eventually becomes more economical to either retrofit plants to capture and store most of.

The costs of these alternative energy technologies are falling rapidly, and they are on the path to becoming cost-competitive within the next five to ten years, if not sooner. Base case economics for EVs in North America are very challenging, absent significant disruption in oil price or battery cost.

A key barrier to achieving RFS2 is the high cost of producing biofuels compared to petroleum-based fuels and the large capital investments required to put billions of gallons of production capacity in place. As of 2010, biofuel production was contingent on subsidies, tax credits, the import tariff, loan guarantees, RFS2, and similar policies.

Furthermore, they write, if the relative cost of cutting emissions was high in a given sector, then growing emissions alone would not solely justify major focus on cutting in that sector alone. A growing supply of unconventional transportation fuels would tend to moderate oil prices and would drive up emissions on a life cycle basis.

On average, Alaska has operated the most efficient US domestic flights for five years running since 2010. In 2010, there were 145 seats on an average US domestic flight flown by the mainline carriers. Overall industry fuel efficiency improved by 1.7% from 2013 to 2014. In 2013 this number rose to 149, and reached 150 in 2014.
