Energy: its impact on the environment and society.

URN No: 05/1274

Energy cover image

Energy - Its Impact on the Environment and Society draws on statistical information from the Digest of UK Energy Statistics and other DTI and Government statistical publications to draw a picture of the key trends in energy statistics. It includes information on emissions and other environmental consequences from energy production and supply, and the social impacts of domestic competition, service quality issues and fuel poverty. The publication shows, through figures and charts, where we have come from, where we are now, what the policy challenges are, and the current responses.

A hard copy of this publication can be obtained from the DTI Publications website.  The 2002 edition can be seen under 'Related Documents'.
