broken link to us energy guidebook
editmaybe someone with more time can follow up on this...
I don't have the time to find all the references & correct them but i went looking for this reference, which is cited at least twice.
edition 28 appears to be gone, edition 30 is available at: http://cta.ornl.gov/data/index.shtml
US government-produced data should be reproducible so perhaps a copy should be downloaded to wikipedia for future reference.

editReference 49 links to nowhere, it supposedly is the source for the 150 kJ per passenger per km train number, and I would like to check it.

Automobiles section reads like an argumentative essay
editHowdy y'all. To avoid drive-by tagging I'm bringing this up on the talk page before implementing any tags.
The current automobiles section reads like an argumentative essay, specifically with the way it is structured, with the paragraph structure, each paragraph introduced numerically, all of them being "considerations," and the final paragraph starting with "finally." It reads less like an encyclopedia and more like one essay, which you're supposed to read from start to finish, building up a kind of "story" over time rather than organizing the information into disconnected-but-organized sections which you can jump to as necessary.
I don't know if I described it very well, but if you read the section and put it into the context of a school essay, you'll see what I'm talking about. What do y'all think about rewriting the section or, at least, adding an essay-like tag? Pie GGuy (talk) 19:05, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- I did some quick rewrite, hope this helps. It can be improved of course. --Ita140188 (talk) 08:51, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
