End Fossil Fuel Subsidies

Conclusion from new study:

"Renewable energy sources will struggle to replace coal and gas-fired power stations as long as energy consumption continues to rise and fossil fuel subsidies remain in place."Do alternative energy sources displace fossil fuels?

Solutions:

- use less energy

- stop the fossil fuel subsidies

"GOVERNMENTS NEED TO CURTAIL THE 409BN OF SUBSIDIES THE [FOSSIL FUEL] SECTOR IS ESTIMATED TO RECEIVE EACH YEAR"........... 409 BILLION FOSSIL FUELS AND RISING (EACH YEAR).........

"Fossil fuel subsidies will rise by more than a third to 660bn a year by 2020 if action is not taken to curtail the increases, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned"IEA demands end to fossil fuel subsidies

Can fossil fuels ever be replaced by renewable energy?
