: Based on statistics taken from the Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics 2008, Table 1.1 – Energy Balance 2007. The flow chart is a simplification of these figures. They are shown in their original state and after being converted into different kinds of energy by the secondary fuel producers. The flows are measured in million tonnes of oil equivalent, with the widths of the bands approximately proportional to the size of the flow they represent.v show details

: Adapted from Wind Energy Comes of Age, by Paul Gipe, John Wiley & Sons 1995, much of this was written in 1993 and relied on reports published in the early 1990s. The energy generated by wind turbines pays for the materials used in their construction within a matter of months. Yet the question as to whether they do, thought by industry analysts to have been effectively answered during the 1970s, is continually raised by critics of wind energy. It was the first avenue that desert activist Howard Wilshire sought in his quest to find a magic bullet that would kill the wind energy monster for all time.v show details

: The IEA, which was established in November 1974, has over the years gained recognition as one of the world's most authoritative sources for energy statistics. Its massive annual studies of oil, natural gas, coal, electricity and renewables are indispensable tools for energy policy makers, companies involved in the energy field and scholars. Here it makes available a number of its statistics publications.v show details
