Sentences with phrase «enough of an alternative fuel»

But there are a number of complexities related to the viability of a new fuel, Fretheim added, such as the vehicle payback period, the need for new infrastructure, overcoming maintenance issues and sourcing enough of an alternative fuel to test it and to fully adopt it if it works.

Not exact matches

Those alternatives operate fewer hours of the year, but with no burden of fuel cost or fuel - disposal problems the price of power they produce could be low enough to squeeze nuclear power out of the mix.

But for those concerned with mpg returns, the fact that the Murano trails behind so many of its competitors is reason enough to seek less fuel - thirsty alternatives.

The myopic focus on anthropogenic climate change is diverting attention and resources from our critical challenge of developing and transitioning to alternative transport fuels fast enough to prevent massive economic harm especially to oil importing countries.

The flywheel energy stores should be capable of maintaining electrical supply long enough for alternative power sources (at present probably fossil fuelled) to power up; avoiding so much need for «spinning reserve».

If fossil power is cheap enough that there are only x % households in fuel poverty (Wiki: In the UK, fuel poverty is said to occur when in order to heat its home to an adequate standard of warmth a household needs to spend more than 10 % of its income to maintain an adequate heating regime), but the alternative carbon - free power increases the percentage of households by 10 % there are negative consequences to not using fossil power.

«Climate science» as it is used by warmists implies adherence to a set of beliefs: (1) Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere; (2) Human production of CO2 is producing significant increases in CO2 concentration; (3) The rate of rise of temperature in the 20th and 21st centuries is unprecedented compared to the rates of change of temperature in the previous two millennia and this can only be due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations; (4) The climate of the 19th century was ideal and may be taken as a standard to compare against any current climate; (5) global climate models, while still not perfect, are good enough to indicate that continued use of fossil fuels at projected rates in the 21st century will cause the CO2 concentration to rise to a high level by 2100 (possibly 700 to 900 ppm); (6) The global average temperature under this condition will rise more than 3 °C from the late 19th century ideal; (7) The negative impact on humanity of such a rise will be enormous; (8) The only alternative to such a disaster is to immediately and sharply reduce CO2 emissions (reducing emissions in 2050 by 80 % compared to today's rate) and continue further reductions after 2050; (9) Even with such draconian CO2 reductions, the CO2 concentration is likely to reach at least 450 to 500 ppm by 2100 resulting in significant damage to humanity; (10) Such reductions in CO2 emissions are technically feasible and economically affordable while providing adequate energy to a growing world population that is increasingly industrializing.

Watch this video to see what happens when enough people push against the pillars of support that prop up the fossil fuel industry, and demand, instead, an alternative reality.

Solar energy and other alternatives are very diffuse sources of energy, and getting the cost down far enough to put the fossil fuel interests out of business is going to be very, very difficult.
