Energy loss is single-biggest component of today''s electricity

Comparing renewable energy with fossil fuels isn''t an apples-to-apples comparison, because renewables don''t use fuel. A coal plant with 32% efficiency still burns 100% of its coal. The impact of burning coal is based on how much coal is burned, not how much electricity is generated at the end of the process.
