The proportions of fuels used in UK electricity generation for the year ending March 2012 have been reported by domestic electricity suppliers in glossy leaflets enclosed with bills.
The photograph shows leaflets sent by E.on to consumers in Cambridge and by npower to consumers in Birmingham.
According to these figures around 30% of electricity was generated from coal.
