These are important, currently available supplies of much lower carbon fossil fuels compared to coal and tar sands.

I have yet to see how society will replace our present massive use of fossil carbon in time to minimize the impact of the decline in available low cost liquid fuels after Peak Oil.

Those who got rich by burning fossil fuels have taken up the available atmospheric space for carbon pollution, leaving little for the rest.

This demonstrates that there is significant waste in the treatment of fossil fuels that will disappear when a price signal for wasting the resource is sent to consumers; further, we know there are significant and readily available alternatives for energy to energy derived from burning carbon, and when the price is made clear and fair, the preference for these alternatives is amply illustrated in the Market; from these two effects we see that the Law of Supply and Demand is relevant to the pricing of CO2E, and not monopolistic pricing.

Funding will be available for new, low - carbon facilities, or for projects that lower the carbon intensity of fuels produced at existing facilities.

Improving energy efficiency and switching to alternative fuels, in combination with reducing the clinker content in cement and deploying emerging and innovative technologies like carbon capture and the use of alternative binding materials are the main carbon - mitigation methods available in cement manufacturing.

Such a hybrid infrastructure would lower the use of carbon fuels for the generation of electricity, because renewable energy can replace them if there is sufficient sun or wind available.

While the above analysis yields good results for by tying past climate change to increases in human CO2 emissions, it should be cautioned that the suggested exponential time relation is not suitable for projecting the future over longer time periods, because of possible changes in human population growth rates and absolute limitations on carbon available in remaining fossil fuels.

The reason both countries, who have large readily available coal reserves are so heavily reliant on fossil fueled electricity generation is because, without carbon pricing, it's slightly cheaper than nuclear power.

There is this hope that we will drift into a low - carbon energy / fuel system without all the available fossil fuels, together with more to be found, being burned first.

6000 gigatonnes of CO2 (2200 gigatonnes of carbon) is a fine number for the extreme limit on available fossil fuels.

And then there is the notion that I have that the state of knowledge (and the growing price of carbon based fuel) is ripe for the development of non-carbon based sources of energy which would be available almost everywhere, and frankly weaken the position of all the unstable oligarchically ruled oil producing nations (I've heard Israel is very interested in green energy for that reason).

In their guidance establishing what could be considered Best Available Control Technology (BACT) for regulating GHGs in the permitting process, EPA stated that fuel - switching from coal to natural gas would not and could not be considered BACT: Since NSPS are traditionally interpreted to set the BACT «floor» for permitting purposes, how can a NSPS that eliminates the ability to construct new coal units without the implementation of commercially infeasible carbon capture and storage (CCS) be consistent with EPA's previous guidance?

The reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide per new unit of non-hydro «renewable» capacity falls off rapidly as additional «renewable» capacity is added to an electric grid because additional fossil fuel sources must be kept in «spinning reserve» in case the wind dies or the sun goes under a cloud unless hydro is available.

Hydropower dams can contribute to global warming pollution: When a forest is cut down to make way for a dam and reservoir, those trees are no longer available to absorb the carbon dioxide added by fossil fuels.

In fact, the most carbon intensive fuel (coal) is often the most available and lowest cost source of electricity.

Most «skeptics» have concluded, based on the available data, that the cost of «going to war» against CAGW (with carbon taxes, carbon rationing, top - down forced reductions in fossil fuel consumption, etc.) would be far greater than any «benefit» that might result, and would thus be «skeptical» of entering such a «war».

These are: Implement a «carbon tax» (or make polluters pay); impose really tough emission standards; create a secure global trade regime in low carbon fuels; develop ways of financing the transfer of the best available technology for creating and, more importantly, saving energy; and require governments to invest in research and early - stage innovation.

Moreover, I would suggest that those of us in «the electorate» who are well - informed about this issue are well aware that changes in public policy — including putting a price on carbon pollution, directly regulating GHG emissions, and providing effective support for the development and deployment of efficiency and renewable energy technologies on a scale at least comparable to the subsidies that fossil fuels have received for a century — are far more effective than the options that any individual can currently choose, and are in fact crucial to making more such options available to all of us.

This system is unsustainable, illogical, and bizarre and can only exist as long as inexpensive fossil fuels are available and we do not take significant action to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Measured decreases in the fraction of other forms of carbon (the isotopes 14C and 13C) and a small decrease in atmospheric oxygen concentration (observations of which have been available since 1990) show that the rise in CO2 is largely from combustion of fossil fuels (which have low 13C fractions and no 14C).
