Efficiency
of an energy type is calculated by how much of the
energy can be stored. This is measured by looking at the cost of
fuel, the cost of making the fuel, and the cost to the
environment. The higher the percentage, the better the energy
type. Anything above 100 percent is a good, efficient source.
