its very hard to have a negative energie return on coal or oil. and making gasoline out of coal isnt a problem too. thats 100 years old tech thats proven to work(and is still used in some parts of the world). |
You don't need to have it negative, nobody will even bother with EROEI below 3-4 and that's a norm today, how much higher it's going to be when assosiated energy costs will go up, nobody knows. It's death spiral upside down. In terms of tech you're behind the times by a mile, would you have been as smart as you've claimed you'd have acknowledge simple facts: Europe has peaked on all fossil fules, Europe is hopelessly energy deficit, there's only two ways of covering the deficit: either by cutting costs (and given the time that is left the cutting would look more like collapse), or ramping up prodcutions of energies that could replace decline of fossil fuels, like nuclear as the best of options in terms of availability, output and price.
