The president wants to decrease dependence on fossil fuels through conservation and alternative energy sources.
You do that by using less fossil fuel, by conservation or substitution or both.

Savings from cutting out the intermediary, not to mention the conservation of fossil fuel, can be considerable.
As our country continues to participate, with no end in sight, in a war that some believe is at least partly based on our country's unquenchable thirst for oil, it pains me to read stories of young men and women who seem to have little regard for the conservation of fossil fuels ("Young Drivers Squeeze Out the Miles," Aug. 13).
Demand is a result of population growth rate, availability of fossil fuel, energy efficiency, conservation measures and use of non-fossil energy sources, general industrial productivity, energy policy, and future climate [9].
The result was a deadly cocktail that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 100,000 vertebrates by "intoxication, dehydration, trampling and miring, and promoted a unique conservation of fossils".
George does not involve himself with the various strategies -- conservation, reducing fossil-fuel emissions, reforestation programs -- that may if not reverse then at least mitigate what the vast majority of scientists now believe to be a worldwide warming trend driven in part by human activity.
Second, in order to determine the potential reactivity of newly excavated fossils, we performed artificial ageing experiments, a technique recently applied in palaeontology that can offer valuable insights into long-term conservation of fossils.
The agency argues a "system" includes a full range of options, including energy conservation or replacing fossil fuels with renewable sources.
