(i) Increasing energy efficiency

Energy and fuel prices and taxes

Global climate change, the sustainability of energy resources, the need to meet ever increasing energy needs in order to support economic development and concerns regarding escalating trends in fuel prices point towards the inevitability of nuclear power.

As oil prices go up, energy patents go up.

(a) Reforms of energy markets directed at increasing efficiency including by increasing competition

Energy and high fuel prices were crucial factors affecting development.

(a) Where appropriate, reforms of energy markets directed at increasing efficiency including by increasing competition

(a) Energy prices shall be allowed to reach a reasonable level

The energy system in Portugal has undergone major restructuring to meet increasing energy demand and increased dynamics in EU energy markets.

The amount of energy is increasing through this little sequence.

which requires an increasing supply of energy to support it.

Rising energy costs have directly affected prices for basic necessities and food.

Instead, energy prices will be allowed to reach their reasonable market level.

Instead, energy prices shall be allowed to reach their reasonable market level.

The agenda to address climate change overlapped with the imperative for greater energy efficiency in the wake of high energy prices.

The policy includes reducing carbon dioxide emissions, increasing the share of gas in end use energy and power, conserving energy to decrease fossil fuel consumption, increasing the share of renewable energy and adding nuclear and hydro generating capacity.

(b) Increasing the share of non fossil energy sources, in particular renewables

And higher oil prices mean a greater incentive to invest in energy R D.

Unconventional natural gas is controversial, as it needs high energy prices to be profitable.

Its performance is explained by the presence of incentives rising producer prices and the increasing prices which these products are fetching on the international markets.

The rate of so called core inflation (which excludes energy purchases) was 1.8 . Even that understates the impact of energy on measured inflation, because lower gasoline prices reduce shipping costs, lowering a wide range of prices.

It should be noted that the increase in energy prices was not limited to oil.

Rapid global demand for electricity, increasing uncertainty in supply and prices of oil and natural gas, and concerns about the greenhouse gas emissions have opened more prospects for the new development of nuclear energy at the global scale.

As a result of increasing supplies, US natural gas prices have declined by two thirds since 2008 and are likely to remain significantly lower than prices in the rest of the world at least through 2020. This price advantage will enhance America s competitiveness as a manufacturing location, particularly for energy intensive activities.

Arms deliveries to Irtogte are increasing and prices for arms have risen sharply owing to high demand.

Increasing competition puts pressure on large telecommunications companies, and the prices of some services tend to decrease.

For the other Parties, the increasing CO2 share reflects taxation and energy efficiency measures.

At the World Summit on Sustainable Development, commitments had been made to diversify energy supply by developing alternative energy technologies and increasing the global share of renewable energy sources.

On the other hand, in contrast to previous energy programmes in the Soviet Union oriented towards large scale growth in energy output, the 1995 energy strategy gives priority to increasing efficiency in energy production and consumption and promoting energy conservation.

During the 1990s, while the share of other energy sources in Italy apos s energy balance has remained about constant, natural gas has filled an increasing share of energy needs.

The global economy currently depends on endless growth, demanding an increasing supply of cheap energy.

The economic restructuring, as well as removal of subsidies and an increase in prices for imported energy to world market levels, have reduced primary energy consumption, and provided incentives for the introduction of new technology, energy efficiency and energy conservation measures.

As a result, Europe will remain a net energy importer. And, given rising global demand for oil, particularly in developing countries, energy import prices will remain high.

This is a most positive initiative at a time of high and volatile energy prices and insecure supplies.

Market reform often translates into lower consumer prices which can encourage more consumption and discourage energy efficiency investments.

The ever increasing global demand for energy and industrial goods and services represents a daunting challenge.

This has been evidenced by the increasing trade of energy crossing borders before reaching final consumers.

Governments of several countries are committed to increasing the share of renewables in total energy supply.

Many rural households generally buy part of their fuel wood or charcoal in small amounts at very high prices per unit of energy compared with other energy sources.

Moreover, there is deepening concern about two types of energy related security problems the increasing risk of violence stemming from the nature of our energy use, and the high cost of that energy.

We believe that nuclear energy, when produced in accordance with safety and environmental procedures, can be a useful way of meeting the increasing energy demand worldwide.

(b) The key challenge for Canadian farmers in relation to energy use is the increasing cost of non renewable energy upon which they are predominantly dependent.

However, this would have from a developmental point of view the problematic, albeit temporary, effect of raising energy prices.

With prices of finite fossil fuels rising and cereal prices falling to record world market levels, it is becoming economically interesting to use cereals, in addition to straw, for energy production.

Increasing the overall economic performance of the economy, including the efficiency and management of the energy sector
