Energy Return on Energy Invested (EROI)
2012-01-28 11:13:06 UTC
As you probably know, EROI is "simply" the ratio of energy delivered to users over the energy spent in extracting/converting/delivering the energy. Is anyone here using this metric to compare renewable versus non-renewable energy? Do you know any good sources of data on "Energy Return on Energy Invested" (EROEI or EROI)? Good data for the denominator (by industry, sector, etc) seems to be scarce!

Greetings ...
Version 1.5 of a survey on education for sustainable development is
online. The objective is to gather an inventory of critical issues that
are unavoidable in sustainable development. Many interactions between
social and environmental factors are included, but there may be more.
*Hope you all can participate* ... this is the link:

FYI, there is also a new article, very instructive and very timely:

The Sustainable Development Paradox
2009-01-17 11:56:24 UTC
The January 2009 issue of the E-Journal of "Solidarity, Sustainability, and Nonviolence" focuses on the theme:
The Sustainable Development Paradox
http://pelicanweb.org/solisustv05n01.html
As part of a series of articles on "dimensions of sustainable development," the January 2009 issue concludes that it is not possible to integrate the social, economic, and political dimensions of sustainable development unless "homo economicus" becomes "homo solidarius." Basically, this means making decisions and taking action based on both self-interest and the common good. Usually this leads to consuming less and sharing more.
Moving forward, I need information and data on programs, policies, and social diffusion methods (especially via internet) to promote the transition from "homo economicus" to "homo solidarius," individually and collectively.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Sincerely,
Luis
