>Why doesn't the wind turbine count as a source of energy? It absolutely does. My question concerned how much energy per liter compared to other unconventional methods.
>It's pretty obvious that when he said "none" he meant no _external_ source of energy. Well, since he was responding to my post, I stayed focused on the question of how much energy it took per liter of water produced...and wanted the reader to draw exactly the conclusion you did.....the wind turbine was a source of energy. But, as I said elsewhere, in a remote location, even otherwise inefficient sources of necessities become relatively efficient compared to having stuff hauled zillions of kilometers. I neglected that point because I saw it, thought it reasonable and clear, and had nothing to add. But, I didn't know off the top of my head the relative energy efficiency vs. other techniques of getting fresh water from unconventional sources. So, I asked.
