Coal power, from mining to generation, is among the thirstiest and most polluting ways to produce electricity. Nuclear plants hoover up enormous volumes of water for cooling, killing aquatic life and warming rivers in the process. Biofuel crops, whether they are switchgrass or sugarcane, could be grown in wetter areas. “In

Nuclear plants, for instance, require enormous volumes of water for cooling. Growing trees to store carbon and harvesting plants to make biofuels could bring down carbon emissions. The fertilizers that nourish these biofuel harvests can severely pollute rivers and aquifers. Other climate solutions also come with water risks.

By 2030, this has to increase to around 24% through further development and deployment of electric vehicles, advanced biofuels and other renewable and low carbon fuels as part of a holistic and integrated approach´ (p.8). Improving energy efficiency legislation is a further cornerstone. The criticism here is two fold.

It was also the age of electricity and the light bulb - a great age of invention. For example, solar panels and solar arrays convert light (for panels) and heat (for arrays) into electricity through chemical processes that we have identified through physics (17).

Coal power, from mining to generation, is among the thirstiest and most polluting ways to produce electricity. Nuclear plants demand enormous volumes of water for cooling, and they kill aquatic life and make rivers warmer in the process. That affects water use because most thermal power plants need water for cooling.
