We could make that same decision today to switch from burning heavy polluting fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, to cleaner energy sources, like solar & wind.

Finally, it should be noted that socioeconomic hypotheses associated with the lower emission trajectories (such as the one commented upon by Tim Worstall) imply a greatly increased use of nuclear and fossil fuels, especially cooal and natural gas, and the share of renewable sources reaching much less than the «80 %» claimed by the recent «renewable energy» IPCC report.

Moreover, in a world where fossil fuel resources are shrinking every year, and where the extraction of «residual» sources such as deepwater oil, tar sands and shale gas come with great environmental and safety risks, bioenergy production can also contribute to national energy security.

Climate economists repeatedly have pointed out that such energy innovation is the most effective climate solution, because it is the surest way to drive the price of future green energy sources below that of fossil fuels.

He concluded that as renewable energy sources have low energy density, more fossil - fuel such as natural gas should be burned for power generation, hence more pollutants emitted.

We believe that a proactive and long - term strategy and approach are the way ahead, along with the necessity of switching from dependency on fossil fuels to exploiting sustainable sources of energy such as solar power and ground source energy.

answer We can substantially reduce our consumption of fossil fuels by investing in alternative energy sources, such as solar power, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, nuclear power, tidal power, etc..

short answer A bad idea, since (i) they produce CO2 (partly responsible for the rise in global warming), (ii) there is a limited amount of fossil fuel from which we make valuable materials such as lubricants and plastics, (iii) fossil fuel resources are finite, so burning them means we are consuming a resource we can never replace, and (iv) we can actually build new industries and create many new jobs developing renewable sources of energy instead of burning fossil fuels.

«Electricity from Renewable Energy and Fossil Fuels with Carbon Capture and Sequestration», the fourth report in the CEF publication series, examines electricity generation through fossil fuel combustion with CO2 capture and sequestration («fossil / CCS»)- a process that removes as much carbon as possible from major emissions sources such as power plants, and stores it in deep geological formaFossil Fuels with Carbon Capture and Sequestration», the fourth report in the CEF publication series, examines electricity generation through fossil fuel combustion with CO2 capture and sequestration («fossil / CCS»)- a process that removes as much carbon as possible from major emissions sources such as power plants, and stores it in deep geological formafossil fuel combustion with CO2 capture and sequestration («fossil / CCS»)- a process that removes as much carbon as possible from major emissions sources such as power plants, and stores it in deep geological formafossil / CCS»)- a process that removes as much carbon as possible from major emissions sources such as power plants, and stores it in deep geological formations.
