The two studies—EPRI-NRDC and ANL—serve as “ excellent bookends ” for comparing minimal and maximal electrification of passenger transportation, the researchers concluded. They considered state-specific contributions from nine generating technologies: coal, oil, natural gas, hydro, biogas, geothermal, nuclear, wind, and solar.

If you are a plug-in hybrid owner and you have wind or solar power at your house , then you can feel really good about your plug-in hybrid using very little water, if any,” Webber told PM. “If Of course, there is no water consumed at all with wind power or solid state solar plants. Most thermal plants will use around 3 gallons.
