The History, Future, and Implications of EROI for Society

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Energy Return on Investment

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Energy ((LNEN,volume 36))

Abstract

Perhaps the most important issue facing mankind is whether or not our civilization is sustainable (e.g., Heinberg and Fridley 2016). While most people do not think much about this topic, there certainly is enough information and literature to make us understand that this is a real issue of potential enormous importance.
