The Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently highlighted a little-discussed benefit of using renewables like wind and solar to produce electricity: Unlike most power sources, they require "almost no water.” This is remarkable because thermoelectric power generation is the leading use of water in America. (That said, only three percent of power generation's 133 billion gallons a day of water is considered "consumptive use," as the U.S. Geological Survey says, "meaning it is lost to evaporation or blowdown during generation.")

We are seeing many benefits to renewable energy. The advantages keep popping up before our eyes. There are many areas that will be improved because of this, especially the warm areas near the equator. They should go all solar.
