The one thing that they glance over here is it still takes overwhelming amounts of energy to get the hydrogen. In 2009 I did a quick calculation and determined it would take 1/3 of the entire planets nuclear and renewable power generation to replace this one industry. The natural gas isn't just for energy, but it provides the hydrogen in the nh3.
That's a good point tbh. That H2O isn't like taking a shower or watering the lawn, it's likely leaving the water table fairly permanently as nh3 and whatever they use the oxygen for.
