Elie: Created page with "This works in most cases because: * The majority of energy comes from fossil fuels. (see chart) * The majority of greenhouse gas emissions are from energy production. (see chart) * Since other energy sources{{x|i.e. nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal}} currently have very limited capacity, it could be said that any energy demand that exceeds that cap..."

This works in most cases because:
* The majority of [[energy]] comes from [[fossil fuels]]. [[:File:energy-usage-by-source.png|(see chart)]]
* The majority of greenhouse gas emissions are from energy production. [[:File:Emissions-by-sector-–-pie-charts.png|(see chart)]]
* Since other energy sources{{x|i.e. [[nuclear]], [[solar]], [[wind]], [[hydro]], [[geothermal]]}} currently have very limited capacity, it could be said that any [[energy demand]] that exceeds that capacity will be met with fossil fuels.

Exceptions:
* When it comes to [[food]]: '''[[Land]]''' usage is a much more accurate measure of environmental impact.<br />Reason:
** {{light|Although [[energy]] is responsible for most of [[climate change]],}} '''agriculture is responsible for almost all [[habitat loss]]'''{{x|which has additional environmental harms besides carbon emissions}}.
** {{light|Also, agriculture accounts for less than 2% of all energy use. <sup>[pie chart link will be added here soon]</sup>}}
