Neutral It has definite potential but the caption is wholly inadequate. It needs to explain what some of these terms mean, at the very least (such as "transfer"), or what is going on in the diagram. —

Oppose With so many abbreviations, in order to understand the diagram the user must decode each one; a tedious process. Instead of thinking about the economics, the viewer is struggling to remember what Trc means. Better to label it with real words rather than forcing people to memorize an arbitrary set of abbreviations, and there looks to be plenty of room on the chart. With a little creativity you could make it work. Check out the book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by
Edward Tufte (
ISBN0961392142) and his other books for some excellent tips on making charts and data displays.
