In recent times, agriculture has become a major fossilfuel energy user. The impression given is that fossilfuel use will continue to rise, and that coal is the fuel of the future. Our calculations indicate that rotation and no-till systems use substantially less fossilfuel in comparison to conventional systems. For each farm type (conventional, rotation and no-till) we estimated average yearly fossilfuel energy use. As fossilfuel reserves diminish, alternative renewable sources of energy will be needed to sustain economic growth. Our model of baseline fossilfuel consumption allows autonomous energy efficiency improvements. The model's dynamics derive from fossilfuel depletion, productive capital accumulation, and the putty/semi-putty specification of technology. This however will be weighed against the effect of more expensive fossil fuels, as a result of the fossilfuel tax. Whereas these studies have been retrospective, we use a dynamic general equilibrium model to investigate global and regional sustainability over the period 1985 - 2050, focusing on fossilfuel extraction. For these regions, if economic depreciation (as a proportion of the total value of fossilfuel extraction) were to exceed 67, 50 and 24 per cent respectively, would change sign. There is no systematic empirical evidence that highly indebted developing countries exploit more their subsoil fossilfuel and mineral resources or produce more cash crops for exports than other countries. The question of structural change is not really serious for those who believe that transition away from fossilfuel based energy supply will suffice to de-carbonize the economy. Even though it has long been known that the global inventory of fossilfuel is finite, no serious action had been taken to face this problem. A comparison of our cumulative emissions projections to historic emissions from fossilfuel combustion highlights the magnitude of the threat from continued global development along historical trajectories. Nevertheless, they will never come close to replacing all the current, fossilfuel-powered vehicles. From Europarl Parallel Corpus - English When they form, wood and peat absorb carbon dioxide, so burning them does not upset the earth's carbon dioxide balance as with fossilfuel. From Europarl Parallel Corpus - English The report does not adopt a position on whether peat is a renewable or a fossilfuel. From Europarl Parallel Corpus - English There is, however, a lack of attention paid to the predicted exhaustion of world fossilfuel resources. From Europarl Parallel Corpus - English Natural gas, a fossilfuel, is too expensive already, and its price is too volatile to risk building big baseload plants. From Europarl Parallel Corpus - English Oil is a fossilfuel with a limited life-span and high oil prices are an irreversible and long-term trend. From Europarl Parallel Corpus - English I would like to call attention to algae oil, which can be converted to a fuel as a replacement for fossilfuel oil. From Europarl Parallel Corpus - English At the same time, however, financing for fossilfuel projects has risen by 430%. From Europarl Parallel Corpus - English My view is that substituting nuclear for fossilfuel-based energy is not sustainable, but other options are. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 The purpose of the alterations to the fossilfuel levy is precisely to create space and more support for renewable sources of energy. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive.

From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 The fossilfuel levy should have been called the nuclear subsidy, because it is clearly a subsidy to the nuclear industry. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 The rate of the fossilfuel levy is therefore expected to decline significantly during the eight-year period of the nuclear contracts.

From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 It cannot be right at this time deliberately to order fossilfuel stations instead of nuclear. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 If there is now to be a bigger fossilfuel programme than would otherwise have been needed, is the fuel to be coal or oil? From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 The choice of fuel will be made in the light of estimates of future fossilfuel price and availability prevailing at that time. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 But—another paradox—countries without fossilfuel can have another geological source, geothermal energy. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 That means that fossilfuel stations can be phased in or phased out, or reduce their output as the tidal barrage comes in. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 The fossilfuel levy is being cancelled only 18 months before it was due to run out anyway. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 However, the provision of support for renewable generation has not always been the main purpose of the fossilfuel levy. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 Obviously, fossilfuel is one of the major problem here. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 When examining other sources of power, such as fossilfuel, it is almost unarguable that they are much more dangerous and have caused more deaths. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 The flexible load is fossilfuel generating stations, which can be brought in and brought out of use as required. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 We must examine the export credit guarantee system to see whether it supports renewable energies rather than huge fossilfuel projects. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 Surely it is strange when a court starts telling countries that they should burn fossilfuel rather than choose clean hydro-electricity.

From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 Fossilfuel based stations have their own problems to face—pollution and all that of one kind, where nuclear faces pollution of another kind. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 The fossilfuel levy will ensure that the costs of meeting this obligation are borne on an equitable basis by all electricity consumers. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 I support nuclear energy on the basis that whatever global reserves exist of fossilfuel, oil or other fuels, they are finite. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive.
