Acknowledging that increased use of new and renewable sources of energy could offer important options for the provision of energy for sustainable development and increased access to modern energy services,

Technological innovation and increased energy efficiency have considerable potential.

34 (XXI) Rationalization and increased efficiency of energy and the use of renewable sources of energy

This promotes innovative thinking about alternative forms of energy and encourages increased efficiency.

Exports of commodities, such as energy and base metals, have also increased strongly.

Enhancing energy conservation and efficiency are key for decoupling economic growth from increased energy use, and thus for driving sustainable development worldwide.

Much of its wealth reflects the increased value of energy, not productive economic activity.

Across Europe, calls for affordable energy are fast becoming a euphemism for increased fossil fuel subsidies and a rollback of commitments on green energy.

EU leaders can build an economy that is less dependent on imported energy through increased efficiency and greater reliance on domestically produced clean energy.

Amphetamines speed up the way the body works users experience increased confidence, sociability, and energy.

Another new dimension of the energy security problem is the manner in which high prices and increased reserves have transferred power to energy producing countries.

Argentina, for example, increased subsidies for energy and transport to the equivalent of 3 of GDP.

(f) Training and capacity building in energy statistics, especially in developing countries, have to be increased.

Improvement in US performance on climate change will have to come from innovation and increased energy efficiency.

In the last few months, attacks on Colombia s energy infrastructure by the FARC and ELN have increased.

Where appropriate, these efforts will be supplemented with the increased promotion of solar and wind energy systems.

Fast growing global energy demands, an increased emphasis on the security of energy supplies and the risk of climate change are driving a renewed consideration of nuclear power.

This requires significantly increased investments in human capital and development oriented infrastructure, such as energy, transport and communications.

Encouraging investments in renewable energy and increased energy efficiency will have the added benefit of boosting long term self reliance and resilience against the volatility of fossil fuel prices.

For example, while Americans could have supported more aggressive fuel economy standards or increased federal taxes on energy, they didn t.

For security and environmental reasons, their energy efficiency increased via a combination of taxes, higher consumer prices, and public education.

One downside to China s rapid growth is its rising demand for energy and the increased CO2 emissions that accompany it.

China increased the share of CHP in the energy supply sector by 11 per cent annually between 1995 and 2000.

Increased utilization of renewable energy will have a significant impact on agriculture in both the short and the long term.

Noting that the World Solar Programme 1996 2005 made a contribution to raising awareness of the increased role that new and renewable sources of energy can play in the global energy supply,

Noting that the World Solar Programme 1996 2005 made a significant contribution to raising awareness of the increased role that new and renewable sources of energy can play in the global energy supply,

They share the vision that renewable energies, combined with increased energy efficiency, will become a most important and widely available source of energy and will offer new opportunities for cooperation among all countries.

However, while the absolute amount of worldwide renewable energy use has been rising significantly, the overall share of renewables in the world's total primary energy supply has increased only marginally over the past three decades.

At least for the next few decades, it will also require accepting a diverse mix of energy sources and technologies, with increased attention to be given to renewable sources of energy (see sect. II above).

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

Biomass. The increased use of biomass for energy production and heating should be fostered as one of the most effective climate protection measures.

This sort of behavior with activists and big energy companies uniting to applaud anything that suggests a need for increased subsidies to alternative energy was famously captured by the so called bootleggers and Baptists theory of politics.

The utilization of wood as fuel has increased dramatically in the 1990s, even in cities, because of the numbing price hikes on other forms of energy.

China's tenth five year Energy Development Plan (2001) gives priority to hydropower, optimization of thermal power, development of the electricity grid and increased use of nuclear power.

Some Parties provided information on the vulnerability of tourism, infrastructure, energy systems and biodiversity, which would be affected by increased frequency and intensity of storms and hurricanes.

Furthermore, regional and subregional cooperative arrangements, backed by international support, could enhance the development of energy corridors, an efficient transit transport system and increased regional trade turnover.

Hydrogen energy technologies Management of the ICHET project with increased membership and partners from academia and the private sector, as well as mobilization of financial resources for the long term activities of the Centre Policy advice on hydrogen energy for developing countries Regional policies on hydrogen energy technologies and identification of activities to be undertaken Cooperation programmes between developed and developing countries established in hydrogen energy.

(c) Controlling growth in the use of fuel and power by industries through increased energy end use efficiency slows growth in the emissions of climate damaging greenhouse gases.

Mr. Al Ghanim (Kuwait) said that, regrettably, a number of factors contributing to the rise in oil prices had not been addressed, such as increased demand for energy.

9. Encourages the United Nations system to continue to raise awareness of the importance of energy for sustainable development, including the need for the increased use and promotion of new and renewable sources of energy, particularly in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication

In a time of diminishing resources and increased costs of energy, the benefits to be gained through the peaceful application of nuclear energy remained of value to the developing world. Such access should not be denied based on a selective and limited interpretation of events.

Rising dependence on energy imports has already been used to rationalize an increased emphasis on maritime power, raising new concerns about sea lane safety and vulnerability to supply disruptions.

The researchers find that the full 20 20 20 plan would actually mean increased energy imports as well as increased price risks mainly because the tax imposed on electricity to achieve the efficiency target of the 20 20 20 plan will affect nuclear power the most.

a In the context of Renewables 2004, renewable energy sources and technologies include solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass energy including biofuels, and geothermal energy.

Fuel efficiencies in the automotive sector have increased by more than 60 in the past three decades, while overall wealth produced per unit of energy has doubled during the same period.
