Energy calculation for a country as a whole for a year is little bit difficult because the result can never be exact.In 2004 only 5% of the primary energy of the UK was imported but in 2010 the share was 30%. During the years 2009-2010 the demand of primary energy was 300 TWh or more less (-13 %) than in 2004.

What are facts on the light bulb?
1 The light bulb was invented in 1879 by Thomas Alva Edison. 2 When you turn on a light bulb only 10 per cent of the electricity used is turned into light, the other 90 per cent is wasted as heat. 3 In the UK we waste £140 million a year by leaving our lights switched on unnecessarily - this causes 900,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, enough to fill 180,000 hot air balloons! 4 Low energy light bulbs last on average up to 12 times longer than traditional fluorescent bulbs. 5 Each low energy light bulb you install in your home could save you as much as £9 per year in energy costs, or £100 over the bulb's lifetime 6If every UK household installed just three compact fluorescent light bulbs in place of traditional bulbs, enough energy would be saved in a year to supply all street lighting in the UK 7 UK households use £1.9 billion worth of electricity every year on lighting 8 Energy efficient bulbs last up to 12 times longer than their inefficient counterparts 9 A heavy coat of dust can block up to half of the light 10 If everyone installed one energy-saving light bulb the carbon dioxide emissions saved would fill the Royal Albert Hall nearly 2000 times. Hoped this helped! :)

What are the main disadvantages of a wind turbine?
The cost of the turbine and where you will put it. But, all the rest is pretty much good. :)AnswerWind turbines are one of the most expensive forms of energy generation, made affordable only because of enormous subsidies which are then passed on to consumers as elevated energy bills. They only produce a fraction of their rated capacity for most of the time. Their energy output is completely unpredictable. And, in the case of the UK, none is made in the UK, so taxpayers money is used to employ foreign workers to manufacture them and to increase the profits of foreign companies.

How much nuclear energy does the UK use in a year?
As of 2011, the UK produces about 19% of its power (roughly 10 GW) via nuclear means. Using the above metric that nuclear plants produce about 10 GigaWatts, that means the total yearly energy production of the those plants is about 87,600 GigaWatt-hours, or 315.36 TeraJoules.
