ENERGY LOSSES IN THE US AND OHIO




Two main sources account for almost ¾ of the energy lost in Ohio:

Electric power plants, which are 32 % efficient, account for 40 %
Vehicles, i.e. autos , which are 25 % efficient account for 25 %

Electric power plants produce half of Ohio's greenhouse gas and vehicles produce about one quarter.

Data for the entire country are similar.
