Thank you, I didn't read it that way. I still believe that is too high. The claim then is it takes 23% of the energy delivered to produce it. I may be wrong but that is a enormous amount of energy that I do not see where the source could be.
The 23 percent (I think) is mostly in the shipping, but I agree. 23 percent is huge. My guess would be in the sub 5% range if pipelines are used and it goes to easily accessible areas.
The article that Wonder Warthog is referencing is very poorly written (or very good propaganda).
