The problem is that solar energy costs too much.

energy pricing to better reflect economic, social and environmental costs

But the lion s share of these investments result in lower energy usage, and thus reduced energy costs.

Attempts to shave costs by economizing on energy use reduce pollution.

If making a product in the EU costs more because of higher energy costs, the product will likely be made somewhere else, where energy is cheaper, and then imported into the EU.

We all know that clean energy products, technologies, tend to be characterized by a higher upfront costs, but very low operating costs.

Population growth meat consumption dairy consumption energy costs bioenergy production stress on natural resources.

We need to make certain that market prices for energy use reflect the true social costs of using energy, so that energy users and energy suppliers make better choices regarding energy efficiency, the development of alternative energy sources, and the adoption of environmentally safe technologies.

Renewable energy costs will eventually go down, in step with technological innovation and mass production.

The last decade has shown that increases in renewable energy production actually reduce its costs.

Second, it can postpone costly system expansion and saves energy and chemical costs (economic objective).

Costs and financing The cost of supplying water consists, to a very large extent, of fixed costs (capital costs and personnel costs) and only to a small extent of variable costs that depend on the amount of water consumed (mainly energy and chemicals).

Europeans would benefit directly through improved Internet access, lower energy costs, and more efficient transport links.

Transport costs for sub regional trade are double that of other developing regions, and high energy costs contribute significantly to the prohibitive cost of doing business.

With the global economy still recovering from the 2008 financial crash, higher energy costs not yet fully offset by greater energy efficiency are worrying business and political leaders.

(d) Unfortunately, in Canada, a comprehensive strategy to address high energy costs in the agricultural sector or to encourage sustainable energy use on farms has not been developed.

The US Department of Energy now provides an upfront payment to wind developers equal to 30 of costs.

The current crippling impact of continually rising energy costs on our fragile economies is a current case in point.

Energy conservation is a rational, cost effective and rapid way for most developing countries to reduce energy costs, stretch their energy supply base without heavy investment, save foreign exchange and contribute to the global effort of protecting the environment.

In terms of total lifecycle costs, these vehicles are three to six times more energy efficient than their petroleum counterparts.

Moreover, because crude oil is priced in US dollars, a rise in the euro means a fall in energy costs.

Costs are falling and are likely to fall even further as innovation accelerates and global energy demand continues to rise.

Such projects have the multiple benefits of reducing energy shortages, cutting fuel costs and improving the national balance of payments.

Most importantly, price signals that show the true social costs of energy derived from fossil fuels will encourage innovation and conservation.

Appropriate regulation and sufficiently long time horizons can make structures of all kinds much more energy efficient, without imposing burdensome costs.

In April 2005, experts from Brazil, China and India discussed a proposal to establish an energy service company industry in order to lower substantially economic, social and environmental costs in the energy field.

As for the cost of stabilization, estimates in the Stern Review range from 3.4 of GNP to 3.9 (since saving energy reduces energy costs, the latter estimate is not as startling as it appears).

This requires, inter alia, including the costs of externalities such as environmental degradation in energy pricing and using subsidies to bring down the initial costs of new technologies in order to make them more competitive.

52. On account of the paucity of their energy resources, SIDS are heavily dependent for their commercial energy needs on imported oil which is often supplied in small shipments and consequently at high transportation costs.

European economies will face lower costs in limiting emissions of greenhouse gases from energy use, leading to more effective control of climate change.

Fukushima showed that the risk of nuclear power is too high, which in turn has also increased the costs of this energy form.

Wind energy is now competitive with conventional power plants, while rising gas and coal prices and the steady decline in renewable energy costs imply that, within a few years, fossil fuels will be even less attractive.

At the United Nations Office at Geneva, an energy saving initiative to control consumption of electricity reduced costs by 160,837 from 2003 to 2004.

Our municipalities, rural and urban, play the operational course of infrastructure things like waste disposal, energy demand, as well as social costs of unemployment, drop out rates, incarceration rates and the impacts of various public health costs.

Here, Sweden will attach particular importance to energy efficiency programs, which will serve not only the purposes of enhancing energy security and reducing costs, but will also be an important contribution to the fight against climate change.

Recurring costs Monthly recurring costs

Likewise, the overall efficiency of a fully integrated sunlight to fuel energy conversion system can be more than ten times greater than the most energy efficient biological systems, but the capital costs are too high for commercial deployment.
