Energy intensitites, EROI (energy returned on invested), for electric energy sources

The EROI (Energy Returned On Invested) has been calculated for various systems, especially power plants, applying several different methodologies. This quantity is often used as an argument in discussions about economics to emphasize the performance of a certain technology. Contrary to that, the pub...
