Perhaps off-topic, but this would let more people know what's happening.

Would one of the regulars (Cry Wolf, Chris Vernon?) edit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_use_and_conservation_in_the_United_Kingdom (which is the main wikipedia article on UK energy) and add some realism, perhaps in the "energy gap" section?

If not, I may have a go. I would need permission to use some graphics (there was a nice graph of I think net UK energy production and consumption) which would have to be available under the GPL or public domain.

Toby, I'm afraid I just don't have time to do this.  If you want to use any of my charts I have no problem with that.

I agree that this section in Wikipedia should be accurate - this is part of the information / miss-information explosion and curse.
