Oil prices can have a major impact on the types and quantities of energy sources used--and thus on greenhouse gas emissions. A new study from researchers at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the World Bank is the first to quantify the energy and emissions impacts of future fuel prices and the various unknowns these impacts depend on.
