Review of this publication
Due to publications such as annual progress reports on the Energy white paper 2003: ‘Our energy future: creating a low-carbon economy’ and UK energy sector indicators, and the considerable resources required to update ‘Energy – its impact on the environment and society’, we have decided not to update this report in the foreseeable future. However, the majority of information published in ‘Energy – its impact on the environment and society’ is still updated elsewhere on the energy section of the DECC website.
