It's about time for people in the UK to pay attention to energy issues.

From the Energy Export Databrowser:

mazamascience.com

Energy production from fossil fuels in the UK is down a staggering 40% since 2000! And the downward trend is set to continue. How much of that can be made up with solar and wind?

I know a lot of LNG is coming on-stream in far-flung corners of the world but if anything happens to the value of the pound the Brits will be facing some interesting choices. (The map of the globe is no longer filled with Pink Bits that pay tribute.)

What would a 40% decline in energy consumption look like? Probably a lot more like my Mom's childhood in Blackpool in the 1940's and 50's.

Best wishes for massive energy conservation.
