Production of crude oil and other liquid fuels, onshore and offshore, reached about 10.3 million barrels daily in 2011, its highest level since the late 1980s.
Waves offshore reached 16 feet in height.
Our view reflects a large amount of renewable capacity to be added onto the electricity grid, particularly in offshore wind (reaching 10GW by 2020) and solar photovoltaic (reaching 7GW by 2020).
Coastguards in Devon said they were expecting "phenomenal" waves about 12 miles offshore, possibly reaching 45ft (14m) in height.
When the planes arrived off Sicily, they were supposed to stay 10 mile offshore until reaching the Simeto River, when they would head inland for the drop zones.
