> still require around 2.5 cubic meters of water per vehicle produced. I always wonder about these statistics: almost every article about an industrial process from silicon fabs to datacentres to cars tuts about water usage. Presumably, while I could believe it's made somehow unavailable to other users (evaporation? pollution? thermally?), it's not bring destroyed entirely and it's never clear what "usage" actually entails.
