How has energy consumption changed over time? What about energy sources? Wikimedia Commons
So, how much energy do we use in a week? WHY? Source: http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/
DEMAND = = PRODUCTION CCGT= combined cycle gas turbines Source: http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/
How do different sources of energy compare to each other? Nuclear energy production is very steady Wind energy production is very variable, as it depends on the weather CCGT is used to match up the difference between demand and production CCGT= combined cycle gas turbines Source: http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/
How does energy go from the power station to your home? Pictures from Wikimedia Commons
