Where is this WTW analysis? If you're referring to the Argonne report you linked earlier, it only shows refinery efficiencies, not WTW. (It also excludes the extra processing of oil sands, so even it's not complete.)

@04Sentra: I agree, nuclear is a great way to reduce the carbon intensity of the grid and provide an affordable way to displace fossil fuel consumption.

Nuclear is not a good option because it produces too much highly hazardous waste... at least until we have the will to ignore the naysayers and build some reprocessing plants, that is. Right now we're throwing away more energy in radioactive waste than we're actually extracting from the fuel.
