A blend of fee and rebate, this is an idea that seeks to improve energy efficiency and reduce pollution. For example, when you bought a new car, you would pay an extra fee if it were energy-efficient user of fuel, or alternatively get a rebate if it were energy-efficient. The neutral point would be set so that fees and rebates balanced, so it became neither an inflationary measure nor a disguised tax.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - feebate

Similar schemes have been proposed to reduce the consumption of water and other resources and as a way to improve the energy efficiency of new buildings.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - feebate

The term is mainly to be found in the USA; it has been around since the early 1990s at least (it appeared in Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign literature), and under this name. Initiatives that penalise heavy users (gaz-guzzler taxes, for example) strictly aren’t freebate schemes, as there’s no rebate element; others, like the British licence-tax reductions for small cars, should equally fall outside its scope, as there’s no explicit balancing penalty. But most environmentalists seem to use the term loosely to mean any tax or charge that is scaled to encourage economy; the word is still mostly to be found in the jargon of such groups.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - feebate

The point on the slope of a hill that will not allow any person or object to be silhouetted against the horizon and also allows full view of the slope below.  2, fiche 3, Anglais, - military%20crest

The military crest... is the point near the top of a slope or brow from which the entire slope below can be seen. This strategic vantage point has historically been vital for an army's control and defense of the high point and surrounding countryside(hence its name). The military crest is also a desirable building location because of the view it affords.... Furthermore, the military crest is an important point for locating structures that visually blend in with the landform.  3, fiche 3, Anglais, - military%20crest

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
