At a plausible GHG emissions price of $ 50 / t CO2eq under a future US carbon mitigation policy, such co-production systems competing as power suppliers would be able to provide low - GHG - emitting
synthetic fuels at the same unit cost as for coal synfuels characterized by ten times the GHG emission rate that are produced in
plants having three times the synfuel output capacity and requiring twice the total capital investment.

Instead of harnessing the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide into
plant food, artificial photosynthesis seeks to use the same starting ingredients to produce chemical precursors commonly used in
synthetic products as well as
fuels like ethanol.

Government and industry must decide whether to invest vast sums, of the order of hundreds, perhaps even thousands of billions of dollars in production of
synthetic liquid
fuels from coal or oil shale, an equally expensive and widely unpopular alternative is construction of many new nuclear fission

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
