Wishing to facilitate the international transportation of passengers, goods and energy resources through the construction of a modern, environmentally friendly, highly efficient regional infrastructure

Myth 2 Energy efficient buildings are uncomfortable.

The EU s most competitive economies are the most innovative and energy efficient, with the most highly educated workforces. Indeed, for Europe, cheap is not the answer quality and innovation are.

Efficient use of energy reduces pollution, reduces energy intensity, and improves productivity and competitiveness.

Energy efficient industry can compete better, pollute less and help to achieve national energy security.

Besides, it is more efficient to reward energy conservation rather than to simply penalize energy use.

We want to get people to be more energy efficient.

Shifts to more energy efficient means of transportation ease congestion.

The first is energy conservation through more fuel efficient vehicles.

Ongoing activities include the development of standards and recommendations in sustainable transport, promotion of energy efficient technology and energy efficient investment projects and promotion of sustainable forest management.

Awareness building in energy efficiency measures and the introduction of efficient industrial energy systems is, therefore, required.

This is a highly valued horticulture industry that is spurred by simple and efficient biotechnology.

We could therefore achieve huge reductions in CO2 emissions by converting to small, lightweight, battery powered vehicles running on highly efficient electric motors and charged by a low carbon energy source such as solar power.

They provided a highly efficient means of obtaining information about markets, suppliers, and sources of finance.

More efficient technologies normally take many years to spread through the energy sector.

The more energy efficient one is, the lower one s vulnerability to price volatility.

We will need improved energy efficiency, through green buildings and more efficient appliances.

When well insulated, a building is energy efficient, thus saving the owner money.

Roughly 16 of total energy needs (up to 25 in the highly industrialized countries) are now met by electric energy.

But only if research is doubled to create new energy efficient technologies will we eventually consume less energy overall and more energy in an environmentally friendly way.

Moreover, economists contend that energy consumption per capita is declining, owing to more efficient use.

No alternative form of energy is efficient enough to compete with fossil fuels at scale.

In order to manage growing pressure on public finances, China must establish highly efficient public budget and fiscal restraint systems.

Its official language is French, it has its own constitution, and it has created a highly efficient Multicultural Cohesion Service.

Many small island developing States were unable to adopt energy efficient practices for lack of appropriate policies and information, and most needed energy audits.

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

Deploying less efficient, more expensive alternative energy sources will hurt businesses and consumers, not help them.

The advances in materials science open the possibility of much more energy efficient residences and commercial buildings.

But increasing energy access is not only about supplying better, more efficient cooking stoves or light bulbs.

PARIS Humanity s future, to say nothing of its prosperity, will depend on how the world tackles two central energy challenges securing reliable supplies of affordable energy, and switching to efficient low carbon energy.

High energy astronomy is the study of astronomical objects that release EM radiation of highly energetic wavelengths.

(o) Noting that timber is an energy efficient, renewable and environmentally friendly raw material compared with competing products

The sun is a nearly inexhaustible energy source, while energy stored in the form of chemical bonds like those found in fossil fuels is accessible, efficient, and convenient.

For example, lightweight, two passenger vehicles can be up to ten times more energy efficient than a typical car.

The oil crisis in 1973 also encouraged the efficient use of energy because of Japan's lack of natural resources.

The analysis shows how all major economic sectors including many energy intensive industries will grow. For example, energy efficient buildings are a boon to the cement and chemical industries.

Efficient buildings enable countries to produce and consume less energy, which supports economic development, because money is freed up for other projects, while promoting energy security and environmental sustainability.

It was agreed that the policy goals for the national steel sector were reducing energy consumption and waste of raw materials by adopting more efficient production methods, encouraging the consolidation of the highly fragmented national steel sector, modernizing outdated plants, and improving the geographical distribution of the industry.

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

Europe cannot build an efficient external policy without achieving a minimum of harmonization of member state policies regarding energy flows, interconnections, infrastructure, investment, and greater progress toward a single energy market.

This is all the more true for educating consumers about energy efficient behavior and its implications for their own economic welfare.

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

Depending upon circumstances, these can include improved biomass cooking stoves or larger scale, more efficient, plants for converting fuelwood to energy.

A recent summit of EU leaders addressed energy policy one area where cooperation is not only highly desirable, but necessary.
