Oooo, I really like the Rejected Energy category on the infographic to account for inefficiencies.

Reminds me of a joke from engineering school rephrasing the three laws of thermodynamics:

    1. The best you can ever do is break even.
    1. You can't break even.
    1. You can't even come close.
