WORK IN PROGRESS

 This page carries the draft scripted Energy Descent Action Plan.  The EDAP is being developed in sections and these are being added as a separate file as each becomes available for general comment and review. Most of these files will not carry all the pictures and illustrations at this stage as these are stiil under development and enables us to keep the files smaller for you to download.

Please see below for how to comment on the draft EDAP

The draft files for downloading are at the bottom of this page.
