Herbicides, average

According to the University of Nebraska the embodied energy of 1 lb of herbicides is 0.045 kWh, and during its production 24.2 lb of CO2 is released, as well as 0.034 lb of methane (another potent greenhouse gas). The embodied energy will be represented here as average electricity, which, unfortunately will skew the results towards higher impact.Please help improving this article!
