TIL about rejected energy
Oooo, I really like the Rejected Energy category on the infographic to account for inefficiencies.
Reminds me of a joke from engineering school rephrasing the three laws of thermodynamics:
-
- The best you can ever do is break even.
-
- You can’t break even.
-
- You can’t even come close.
-
Why do residential, commercial, and industrial sectors seem to have such better energy efficiency than electrical producers do? Is that just because of the inherent loss in distributing that energy?
I also never realized how bad transportation is with energy efficiency, why is it so much worse than stationary users are?
