Wave/Geothermal – Energy Return on Investment (EROI) Pt 5

This is the final piece of a series on Energy Return on Investment from Professor Charles Hall’s EROI Workshop at SUNY-Syracuse. Today’s papers outline the energy technologies of wave and geothermal power, concluding a 5 part series that has looked at Why EROI Matters, Natural Gas and Imported Oil, Tar Sands and Shale Oil, Nuclear Power, and Passive Solar, Photovoltaic, Wind, and Hydro-electric. Previously, Professor Hall also wrote the thought provoking, At $100 Oil, What Can the Scientist Say to the Investor. Forget not about the simple ‘balloon graph’ of EROI x Scale for fossil and renewable energy sources that this project is attempting to update with the help of theoildrum.com readership.
