Jennifer Metzger, co-founder of Rosendale - based Citizens for Local Power (CLP), says it has vociferously opposed the NCZ not only because it raises rates but also because it incentivizes fossil fuel production, in direct opposition to the NYSERDA programs.
«When it comes to life cycle greenhouse gas emissions, wind and solar energy provide a much better greenhouse gas balance than fossil - based low carbon technologies, because they do not require additional energy for the production and transport of fuels, and the technologies themselves can be produced to a large extend with decarbonized electricity,» states Edgar Hertwich, an industrial ecologist from Yale University who co-authored the study.
David Rutledge, an engineering professor at the California Institute of Technology who studies world coal production, said the IPCC's «business as usual» scenario is unrealistic because it essentially assumes that growth of fossil fuels like coal will continue apace, which is unlikely.
Implementation of this policy commitment would also render unnecessary continued substantial expenditure on fossil fuel exploration, because any new discoveries could not lead to increased aggregate production.
One article I was recently reading stated that hemp seed oil produces a cleaner buring fuel (nearly 90 % burn, with considerably less ash and CO2 production) than any fossil fuel (33 % burn at the most efficient) and was actually banned because the oil industry (and the rope industry, as hemp weave made a stronger and less expensive rope than current materials) decided to push their congresscritters to close it down because hemp could make Marijuana.
There is a raging battle today about the size of fossil fuel reserves and resources, with «peakists» claiming that we are already at or near peak production of both oil and coal because the amounts of economically recoverable fuels in the ground are more limited than the fossil fuel industry has admitted.
Because it's a tax on energy production by fossil fuels that primarily fuel our livelihood, it's a tax on virtually everything we do.
They are destroying the industries, because they use fossil fuel - > back primitive production by hand.
Utilities prefer wind energy because the intermittent production at the wrong time of the day becomes a token excuse to build more fossil and nuclear fueled power plants.
Because Ontario is contractually obligated to pay for most of the production costs of curtailed and exported energy, OSPE believes it would be better to find productive uses for the surplus clean electricity to displace fossil fuel consumption in other economic sectors.
Cheap fossil fuels are here to stay because production costs are tumbling.
Burning fossil fuels is unsustainable because the rate of natural production of fossil fuels is almost infinitely slower than the rate of use, resulting in a damaging build up of CO2 in the atmosphere and oceans.
Because of the variable, unpredictable, and uncontrollable nature of wind production, backup fossil - fuelled generation has to be run simultaneously to stabilize the grid on an increasing scale as more wind production is added.
This can occur through (1) relocation of energy - intensive production in non-constrained regions; (2) increased consumption of fossil fuels in these regions through decline in the international price of oil and gas triggered by lower demand for these energies; and (3) changes in incomes (thus in energy demand) because of better terms of trade.
We focus on the fossil fuel industry because we view the production and consumption of oil, gas and coal as sources of global warming, human rights abuses, war, national security concerns, corporate globalization, and increased inequality.
And even if this Court were to issue a nationwide injunction against all fossil fuel production, such an order would not abate the alleged nuisance — though it would devastate the U.S. economy — because global warming is caused by global emissions that this Court has no power to enjoin.»
In heavy industy, fossils fuels will always be required for lime and cement kilns, metal smelters, steel mills, foundries and metal casting plants, metal cutting and braising torches, all factories that make ceramics (e.g., bricks, tiles, china, glass, etc), all food production, processing and distribution, space and water heating, cooking and baking, BBQ's, manufacture of porcelain - coated metals, harvesting of wood and lumber manufacture, isolation of essential oils by steam distillation for prepartion of fine fragrances flavors, etc because the fuels provide HIGH HEAT.
Because forecasting fossil fuel production in the twenty - first century has several methodological problems, the paper begins with a discussion of these methodological issues prior to the discussion of the outlook for each fossil fuel.
Total energy production per capita resumed increasing after 2000 only because of rapidly growing fossil fuel production (which accounted for 98 per cent of the per capita increase for 2000 — 2005).
This simplistic model is not correct for the production of corn - based ethanol because fossil fuels are used in the growing of corn and the production of ethanol, and these contribute to global warming gasses.
The nations of the world are taking on sulfate and particulate production, and will likely substantially reduce this production long before CO2 production is reduced (mainly because it is possible with current technology to burn fossil fuels with greatly reduced sulfate output, but it is not possible to burn fossil fuels with greatly reduced CO2 output).
