Describe how the use of energy resources in the UK is changing

During the 1970s scientists began to realise carbon dioxide emissions could be leading to climate change, however, politicians didn’t see this as a serious issue. And energy from fossil fuels was valued for the economical factor of its inexpensiveness, while switching to renewable to alternatives costed money and therefore jobs. However, in 2005, the Kyoto protocol committed countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The UK has one of the best locations for wind power in the world, over the last decade, the UK has opened a large number of wind farms. Other remunerable energy sources such a solar power and biofuels are increasing in the UK. The UK’s future looks upon renewables providing the bulk of our electricity while nuclear power produces the base-load and gas provides electricity during periods of peak demand.
