Peter Lang, I suggest you have another look at the intellectual honesty page you've previously referred me to. For the last few posts you've been displaying the second sign of intellectual dishon...

Peter, I've checked and my exact words were: The "Economics in one lesson" site's one basic point is good, but because it fails to understand how inflation is affected by savings and productivity...

fireofenergy, What's good enough depends on cost of net energy. EROEI is not the deciding factor; it's just one of many contributing factors. Peter Lang, Working on solar does not destroy wealth....

Although I have hope for RE, the way we do it today is not good enough. We don’t have intercontinental HVDC lines, we don’t have a cheap and plentiful solid state battery and we h...https://bravenewclimate.com/2014/08/22/catch-22-of-energy-storage/comment-page-5/#comment-456601
Aidan Stranger,
19% of the calculated “energy investment” is labour. But that’s a societal cost; it should not be counted because the people would (assuming a competently run ec...https://bravenewclimate.com/2014/08/22/catch-22-of-energy-storage/comment-page-5/#comment-456600

As I suspected, the ultra low figure is arrived at by making dodgy assumptions and fudging the figures by pretending non energy inputs are energy inputs. 19% of the calculated "energy investment"...

No, what we HAVE to do is wait until the storage problems are solved BEFORE we make the weak and intermittent sources of energy work for us. Until then, they make no sense at all. Billions are be...

This article nicely exposes what is called The Energy Trap. As ERoEI drops, more and more energy has to be diverted from society to get more energy. This does not include decommissioning of plant...
