Energy, Entropy, and Economic Analysis: Some New Directions

Author

Listed:
  • David A. Huettner

Abstract

The relationships between energy analysis, entropy analysis, and economic analysis have been intensely debated over the past decade, and a variety of conflicting claims have been made concerning the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Recent articles' indicate a growing general agreement that energy content valuation is an energy theory of value, and that net energy, entropy, and economic analysis all reach different conclusions.
