@Johnfos: I am concerned that this edit deleted some important facts. I like File:Energy-trends.png and hope it can help address this issue. Which articles do you think it can be best used to illustrate? Tim AFS (talk) 15:30, 16 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi Tim, The source of the Energy trends image is BP, so it would probably be best located in BP-related articles. For a general energy article like this the best sources are authoritative ones like the International Energy Agency and IPCC... Johnfos (talk) 04:50, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hi, Have expanded the opening RE paragraph somewhat to provide a better overview, and the key stats appear in sections below... Johnfos (talk) 04:49, 27 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Cost by conventional reserve

Large energy subsidies are present in many countries (Barker et al., 2001:567-568).[1] Currently governments subsidize fossil fuels by $557 billion per year.[2][3] Economic theory indicates that the optimal policy would be to remove coal mining and burning subsidies and replace them with optimal taxes. Global studies indicate that even without introducing taxes, subsidy and trade barrier removal at a sectoral level would improve efficiency and reduce environmental damage. Removal of these subsidies would substantially reduce GHG emissions and stimulate economic growth.
