Unfortunately, the EPA estimate of 18 % still doesn't
include a large portion of the
fuel, the
synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, some of the nitrous oxide, all of the CFCs and bromines, and most of the transport emissions.
The most water - efficient energy sources are natural gas (though we may be just about out of it) and
synthetic fuels produced by coal gasification; the least efficient are ethanol and biodiesel — the biofuels just can't catch a break these days, can they?Water use winners and losers The research pair analyzed 11 types of energy sources,
including coal,
fuel ethanol, natural gas, and oil; and five power generating methods,
including hydroelectric, fossil
fuel thermoelectric, and nuclear methods; in terms of power generation, Younos and Hill have found that geothermal and hydroelectric energy types use the least amount of water, while nuclear plants use the most.
However, the number is probably closer to 25 - 30 % as they failed to
include the «manufacture and use of pesticides and fertilizers,
fuel and oil for tractors, equipment, trucking and shipping, electricity for lighting, cooling, and heating, and emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other green house gases» and «still doesn't
include a large portion of the
fuel, the
synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, some of the nitrous oxide, all of the CFCs and bromines, and most of the transport» and methane emissions.
