Yes, they really do exist. Subsidies for the use of fossil fuels. Obviously this is insane when we’ve also got huge subsidies for the use of non-fossil fuels. The thing is though, it’s different countries offering the different subsidies. It’s the rich western countries subsidising non-fossil while the fossil fuel subsidies are all in poor

Geoffrey Lean: Reducing consumption of fossil fuels saves money Sadly it’s all a little more complex than that: if that’s all there were to it then we’d all be cutting our consumption of fossil fuels and there wouldn’t be any problem, would there? We can reduce our consumption of fossil fuels, of course: if we decide to reduce

However, fossil fuel addiction can be solved only when we recognise an economic law as certain as the law of gravity: as long as fossil fuels are the cheapest energy they will be used. Solution therefore requires a rising fee on oil, gas and coal – a carbon fee collected from

An underestimation of the expected surge in emissions from oil-based fossil fuels could undermine the EU's climate goals, the European Biodiesel Board (EBB) warned yesterday (18 March).

I thought I would share some recent correspondence I had with the Labour PPC for Charnwood Eric Goodyer on the subject of Oil and Gas Security:- Good morning Roger I hope that you are well. Putting aside our differences on renewable energy, I have a question for you on fossil fuels. How would you propose to ensure

Greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels such as palm oil, soybean and rapeseed are higher than those for fossil fuels when the effects of Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) are counted, according to leaked EU data seen by EurActiv. More »

Europe must reduce its oil demand by over half within the next forty years to tackle climate change and address growing difficulties in securing access to fossil fuels, an EU consultative body argued last week (9 January).

Promises, promises “No more dirty coal, no nuclear… dependence on fossil fuels undermines the fight for human rights” so said Nick Clegg to the Liberal Democrats conference yesterday. And this really sums up the Lib Dems. Yes the UK would be far, far better off if it didn’t rely on fossil fuels and didn’t
