UK fossil fuel consumption figures found

I found this document on the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry) website :
http://www.dti.gov.uk/energy/inform/dukes/dukes2005/longterm05.pdf

Some interesting choices have been made about presentation by the document's authors. For example note that an order of magnitude logarithmic scale is used (chart 1.1.1) to indicate the growth of Renewables and Waste as an energy source. This gives the purely visual impression that the green energy production sector has grown to about 1/4 of total energy consumption, of course it has not, it is more like 2% of the total.
