The lion's share of

The nuclear decommissioning authority has an annual budget of £2 billion. In fact, this clean-up budget seems to rise
and rise. The latest figure for the total cost of decommissioning is £73 billion. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7215688.stm-

Now why is this nearly 50% increase over the value quoted in the text tucked into the endnotes? If the text were emphasizing how great a cost this was, the end notes might be appropriate. However, the text main point is that it is a smaller 'subsidy' than that given wind generation.

I want to estimate
the energy consumed by someone who chooses to drive-
Ché Duro on 2009-08-13
I like the idea here; I agree that 'averages' are abused. Somehow similar to everyone believing that they have above average driving skills. However it seems that in using a km/person/day value 66% greater than the average, the calculations later regarding necessary energy production are all suspect (because the total production is simply averaged to a kwh/person/day value). Considering how large a portion of our energy is used by cars, this choice is significant.
