• Energy transitions or additions? (2019, background): “Why a transition from fossil fuels requires more than the growth of renewable energy Richard Yorka,⁎, Shannon Elizabeth Bellb a Department of Sociology and Environmental Studies Program, 1291 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1291, USA bDepartment of Sociology, Virginia Tech, 225 Stanger Street”
• Using Attributional Life Cycle Assessment to Estimate Climate‐Change Mitigation Benefits Misleads Policy Makers (2014, background): “Economic theory provides a means of estimating these effects; simply assuming that producing a biofuel suppresses production of an equal quantity of petroleum-based fuel is “clearly wrong” (York 2012).”
• Circular Economy Rebound (2017, background): “On an economy-wide scale, these concepts can explain why, for instance, investments in efficient alternative energy do not fully displace fossil fuels (York 2012).”
• Does replacing coal with wood lower CO2 emissions? Dynamic lifecycle analysis of wood bioenergy (2018, background): “We further assume that the decline in coal use resulting from wood does not lower coal prices, increasing coal demand elsewhere, an effect estimated to be large (e.g. York 2012).”
• Agricultural residue production and potentials for energy and materials services (2014, background): “Cambridge, United Kingdom and New York, NY, USA: Cambridge University Press; 2011.”
• Why achieving the Paris Agreement requires reduced overall consumption and production (2018, background): “York (2012) showed that each unit of total national energy use from non-fossil fuel sources displaced less than onequarter of a unit of fossil fuel-energy use.”
• Machine learning and artificial intelligence to aid climate change research and preparedness (2019, background): “Conversation from fossil fuels to different energy sources remains challenging (York 2012).”
• Political power and renewable energy futures: A critical review (2017, background): “Less ambiguous improvements for the climate would require that each unit of renewable energy generated displace at least the equivalent unit output of fossil fuels, whereas renewables may prove largely additive to rather than substitutive of nonrenewables [158].”
