Participants are free to increase other forms of energy usage so it is a change towards a more balanced Endergy diet.<BR/><BR/>Most short term reductions in CO2 emissions will be due to more efficient use of energy. While there is a cost for the initial investment in improved energy efficiency there is a considerable long term payback. For electricity, improved efficeny will also reduce the investment needed in new generating capacity.<BR/><BR/>Kyoto has already stimulated investment in alternative energy technologies. In the past these have been starved of sufficent funds to be able to competitive with the established CO2 technologies. In addition the established energy suppliers use monopolistic practices to resist market penetration by alternative technologies. There is even anecdotal evidence suggesting that some established energy suppliers also inhibit alternatives through purchasing and sitting on new technologies.<BR/><BR/>I can see no moral justification to support our current near total dependance on inefficient Carbon burning energy technologies, especially when many of these will soon begin to run out (one Oil Industry analyst predicts that oil prices will start skyrocketing when the number of new oil fields being opened peaks - possibly in as little as 5 years. This is because the maximum rate of oil extraction from a field declines as oil is extracted and the worlds oil production will also decline, as more and more fields age, while the demand for oil continues to rise).<BR/>Thus the only moral thing to do is to encourage investment in more efficient use of carbon fuels and in developing renewable alternatives, irrespective of the pros and cons of Global Warming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
