What's the Energy Return on Energy Input? My guess is more energy in than out, making it a a global burden instead of a global asset. Not to mention all the other comments in the thread....
- RobertRoberts 8y agoDoes any storage medium have an equal in->out balance? I think that is impossible...
- olliej 8y agoCorrect, it is impossible (ye olde laws of thermodynamics). Generally it’s a question of what the efficiency of the charge/draw process is, and how you can get. The advantage of hydrocarbons isn’t that they’re energy efficient to create, but rather that it’s mostly happened already over millions of years, or it’s from power derived from the sun (plants, etc)
