But oil prices do not reflect the true costs of fossil fuel consumption.

The price of fossil fuels, however, is likely to continue to trend upward.

Testing the Limits of Fossil Fuels

Biofuels come in two forms biodiesel used as a fossil fuel diesel substitute and bioethanol used as a fossil fuel gasoline substitute.

Escaping the Fossil Fuel Trap

Of course, fossil fuels brought their own environmental problems.

Proponents of carbon cuts argue that green energy technologies only seem more expensive, because the price of fossil fuels does not reflect the cost of their impact on the climate.

The sustained hike in global oil prices is a loud and clear alarm call for us to consider the unsustainability of the global dependence on fossil fuels.

Setting the long term goal to get off fossil fuels

Steam reforming Fossil fuels are the dominant source of industrial hydrogen.

Fossil fuel subsidies have the opposite effect.

Fossil fuel and water subsidies have contributed to both problems.

The shift away from fossil fuels will not be easy.

The Commission believes that over the next four decades, fossil fuel costs will climb sharply, because sources will dry up and governments will place massive taxes on fossil fuels.

Straw and cereals. With prices of finite fossil fuels rising and cereal prices falling to record world market levels, it is becoming economically interesting to use cereals, in addition to straw, for energy production.

The reasons for this have not changed rising demand for energy, alongside concerns about climate change, volatile fossil fuel prices, and the security of energy supplies.

After energy efficiency , add , advanced fossil fuel technology .

Burning fossil fuels is having a measurable impact on the earth s temperature.

The switch to fossil fuels has also had tremendous environmental benefits.

The purpose of the project is to make the FAA less reliant on fossil fuels.

Ending our reliance on fossil fuels requires a complete transformation of the world s energy systems.

In these cases, the fossil fuel is partially oxidized, for instance in a gasifier.

Biofuels offer some 60 per cent carbon dioxide saving on their fossil fuel equivalents.

Third, we face steeply rising prices for fossil fuels, as developing countries growth drives up demand and conventional supplies of coal, oil, and gas are depleted.

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.

There is no real alternative. High carbon growth is doomed, crippled by high prices for fossil fuels and killed off by the hostile physical environment that climate change will create.

What is stoppable is the steep rise in Asia s reliance on fossil fuels.

The United States spends heavily to subsidize gasoline and other fossil fuels.

This same short term thinking characterizes the world s dependence on fossil fuels.

The benefits of fossil fuels must be weighed against the costs of global warming.

The 1973 oil crisis strengthened Sweden's commitment to decrease dependence on imported fossil fuels.

The majority of fossil fuel usage for the generation of electricity was coal and gas.

It is a potential means of mitigating the contribution of fossil fuel emissions to global warming and ocean acidification.

Many Parties presented estimated reserves of fossil fuels and or non fossil fuel energy sources.

Regardless, fossil fuels will remain an important part of the global energy mix for the foreseeable future, and it is thus critical that fossil energy technologies continue to evolve towards cleaner, more efficient and less carbon intensive systems.

The standard reply is that green technologies seem more expensive only because the price of fossil fuels does not reflect their climate costs.

In addition, the environmental and national security arguments in favor of discouraging fossil fuel consumption work better if the increase in energy prices is phased in gradually.

Moreover, fossil fuel costs fluctuate wildly with oil prices, and the centralized nature of nuclear and coal fired power stations creates distribution problems.

The momentous move toward fossil fuels has done a lot of good.

The good news for US energy security is that in 2011, the country became a new net exporter of petroleum products. The price of fossil fuels, however, is likely to continue to trend upward.

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.

One of the primary measures to be taken to address climate change encompasses reducing the utilization of fossil fuels and combating desertification.

Given that fossil fuels contribute to global warming, standard economic theory suggests we should tax them according to their cumulative negative effects.
