Energy v1.2

• Climatiq has released a minor update to the energy feature, which is now available. The update includes improvements to coverage, usage of the latest emissions factors from national sources, and updates to methodology.
• This is a non-breaking change from v1.1, and so you can just update the URL you use and immediately start using it. This is released as a separate version, so that you have control over when to adopt the changes which can result in material changes to your estimations.
