Towards a Sustainable Global Energy Supply Infrastructure: Net Energy Balance and Density Considerations

This paper employs a framework of dynamic energy analysis to model the growth potential of alternative electricity supply infrastructures as constrained by innate physical energy balance and dynamic response limits. Coal-fired generation meets the criteria of longevity (abundance of energy source) a...
