The article highlights the significance of water usage in energy production, beyond focusing solely on greenhouse gas emissions. While fossil fuels like coal and oil are major water consumers due to cooling needs, renewables like solar and wind have lower water footprints, mainly tied to infrastructure manufacturing. Hydrogen fuel cells offer emissions-free energy but require water in production, adding to the water footprint. Hydropower, while not using water during generation, can impact water quality. The need for balancing renewable energy's water footprint is stressed, with suggestions to prioritize water-efficient sources, implement water management plans, promote green transportation, and address mining's water consumption. Strategies for reducing water usage in energy production are crucial for a sustainable transition to green power.
