Just curious;
I've read that energy takes quite a bit of non-salt water to produce. Energy can be used to create clean water by desalinization, but I believe I read that this still creates less clean water than the clean water needed to produce that energy (though this can be done in a very different area. Would anyone here happen to be familiar with the basic numbers here?
I'm not familiar with the exact numbers, but I would be extremely surprised if a solar panel or wind turbine took that much fresh water to manufacture and install. I suspect that the argument you're referencing is more likely geared toward fossil fuels.
