Such an approach will create a sound carbon management framework for the sector and in so doing, move policy closer to the integrated treatment of fossil energy and terrestrial GHG sources ultimately needed for effective climate protection.
The Energy Bill aims to move the UK's energy production from a dependence on fossil fuels to a more diverse mix of energy sources, such as wind, nuclear and biomass.
The question for the long term was, he explained, how to get off the "fossil fuel price escalator" with energy sources including renewable and nuclear.
Much of this wedge is being driven by activists who oppose all fossil fuels and lobbyists for other energy sources eager to make natural gas less competitive.
FORBES: Vocal And Tiny Minority Propagates Natural Gas Disinformation
Green Party spokeswoman Jenny Jones urged the government to be more courageous in moving Britain from a "fossil fuel culture" to sustainable energy sources like wind, solar and water.
Regardless of whether a candidate seeks to continue to develop fossil fuels or encourage renewables, energy sources must be commercially available to consumers in sufficient quantities and at a commercially attractive price in order to be effective.

It is important to note, however, that human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels for transportation and energy generation are the main sources of air pollution, said Wotawa.
While it is absolutely essential that we continue to drive down the costs of generating electricity from solar (and wind, which is indirect solar energy, ) doing so alone will not make these renewable energy sources competitive with traditional hydro, fossil or nuclear generated electricity.
FORBES: Storage, Not Generation, is the Challenge to Renewable Energy
The use of renewable energy sources will decrease the Army's fossil fuel consumption, while lowering greenhouse gas emissions and creating a more assured energy supply.

"We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations, " he said, warning of a "long and sometimes difficult" path to sustainable energy sources in a nation dominated by its fossil fuel industries such as oil and coal.
CNN: Obama's speech ties current issues to founding principles
As the era of cheap fossil fuels winds down, governments and entrepreneurs alike are searching for alternative energy sources.
Otherwise we are simply solving one problem, less dependence on fossil fuels, while creating another, a technology that produces energy from renewable sources but is not disposable at the end of its lifecycle.
Best of all, geothermal plants provide power 24 hours a day, 7 days per week and thus are among the few sources of renewable energy that can replace baseload plants powered by fossil fuels.
"The RSEP program is a key initiative in the Marine Corps' expeditionary power systems portfolio for advanced power sources that embrace renewable energy systems as a means to reduce fossil fuel requirements, " said Mike Gallagher, program manager for expeditionary power systems at Marine Corps Systems Command, which will work with ONR to transition the technology to the field.

China and other energy hungry countries have been on the hunt for alternative energy sources, to move away from being heavily reliant on coal and fossil fuels.
