The EU package, which is under pressure because of fears of the cost of green energy in the middle of a global economic crisis, focuses on three areas: emission cuts, renewable energy sources and energy efficiencies.
Why are we not investing in the energy sources of the future, just the ones in the past, particularly if the energy sources of the past are highly profitable right now and don't need a tax break?
WHITEHOUSE: Presidential Press Conference on the 2012 Budget
As prices of traditional energy sources like coal and oil rise, government subsidies and tax breaks for investment in solar energy will drive growth in the renewable energy industry as alternative energy sources become a more economical alternative.
In addition to this long-term global goal, each country would establish midterm national targets, and programs that reflect their own mix of energy sources and future energy needs.
During this period, power stations using gas, biomass, other renewable energy sources and nuclear energy would produce more to fill the void, the group said in a joint position paper presented to the European Commission on Friday.
We increased the loan guarantees in the federal -- in our current federal budget deficit to build more of these facilities to strike that balance and also to create -- begin to create a market for cleaner energy sources through comprehensive energy legislation.
Americans need, and clearly want, national energy policies that tangibly enhance our energy security by pursuing all available sources of energy.
FORBES: Has U.S. Energy Policy Killed Green Scene? Survey Says, Yes!
Declining module prices are expected to help drive down the costs of solar energy and eventually make it competitive with traditional sources of energy such as coal and gas power plants, even without government subsidies.
FORBES: First Solar Goes For More Efficiency To Fight Off Chinese Threats
And part of the problem is, is when politicians pretend that there is, then we put off making the tough choices to develop new energy sources and become more energy efficient.
Because of the need to continue to pursue an all-of-the-above energy approach that includes investments in alternative energy so that we can reduce our dependence on foreign sources of energy.
You have to have a sustained energy policy and you have to look at diversifying your sources of energy, increasing your production of energy of all kinds, and building clean energy technologies that allow us to move -- again, move off of our dependence.
Tonight I had a chance to discuss with you what to do to keep this economy going: keep the taxes low, don't increase the scope of the federal government, keep regulations down, legal reform, a health care policy that does not empower the federal government but empowers individuals, and an energy plan that will help us become less dependent on foreign sources of energy.
By focusing on North American energy supplies, the U.S. reduces dependence on overseas sources of energy, many of which come from volatile areas.
FORBES: Which Candidate's Energy Plan is Better for America?
Please give me some good arguments on why we should continue to support long established energy industries and neglect to give an equal and fair chance for new sources of energy?
But I would make the point that we are pursuing an energy policy that enhances our domestic production of oil but also looks broadly at all sources of energy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and that includes natural gas and nuclear, renewables.
And those power sources can be from renewable energy sources.
Steven has helped us to speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy.
WHITEHOUSE: Remarks by the President in Personnel Announcements
But what I've also said is we can't just produce traditional sources of energy.
That means investing in clean, alternative sources of energy, like advanced biofuels and natural gas.
WHITEHOUSE: Weekly Address: Clean Energy to Out-Innovate the Rest of the World | The White House
But going back to diffuse non-dense agrarian sources for energy is to regress , not progress.
Finding new sources of energy has been a recurring issue in the presidential campaign.
We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy.
Right here in Florida, we are seeing solar and other new sources of energy.
WHITEHOUSE: Remarks by the President at a Campaign Event, Tampa, FL
Japan has few domestic sources of energy and is heavily dependent on oil imports.
Now, in terms of new sources of energy, we have a few different options.
Already, over one billion people lack access to electricity and other clean sources of energy.
Scientists agree that alternative sources of energy are inevitable, but coal is not going to disappear soon.
Nuclear power was one of the key sources of energy in Japan before last year's twin disasters.
"We need to have instant-on sources of energy" like gas to balance loads from wind and solar generation.
FORBES: Energy Sec Chu Says Global Warming Is Real; Nat Gas Will Be Bridge Fuel
Added demands from such operations will stretch Alberta's ability to provide enough natural gas--necessitating new sources of energy.
