On the Natural Resources Defense Counsel website it
states that “Our best weapon against global climate change is clean energy.
Renewable power, conservation, energy efficiency in buildings and elsewhere,
more efficient vehicles and clean fuels -- these are the solutions that will
reduce the impacts on our climate, revive our economy, and create jobs”(Quotation
from NDRC website).
In a section on Power Scorecard it states that “There
is increasing scientific evidence showing that human enterprises, especially
burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are altering the earth's
climate”(quotation from powerscorecard website).
According to Trevor M Letcher, Professor of chemistry
at the University KwaZulu-Natal, Durban and a Fellow of the Royal Society of
Chemistry, “The present world energy supply is dominated by fossil fuel (Table
1.1), which unfortunately is not sustainable in the long term” (section 1.2).
