Every cycle has a 50% cost in renewable power. This is close to being carbon neutral, but it is not entirely. Its not a closed loop. You have a growing loss every cycle. Its digging yourself deeper every time.
- teraflop 7y agoIt is not energy neutral, but it is carbon neutral (if the electricity input is from a zero-carbon source). It sounds like you're suggesting that burning the fuel releases more carbon than was used to produce it, which isn't possible.
- tathougies 7y agoThe claim is renewable energy is not carbon neutral? Just to be clear -- you realize carbon can neither be created nor destroyed by any industrial process available to mankind?
- mrep 7y agoWell of course it's not 100% energy efficient. Nothing we do is 100% efficient because we cannot escape the second law of thermodynamics (entropy).
