Nonsense. Factor in all the oil that was used to build the resources the city dweller depends on, and to maintain those resources. Factor in the sheer energy waste of cities.
An honest appraisal cannot lead to the conclusion that cities are good for us, energy-wise.
- barbecue_sauce 8y agoIf you factor all of that in, it is less.
- prawn 8y agoWhat resources are those that the rural dweller doesn't have? Still need roads, walls, pipes, etc. The majority of rural dwellers still have electricity lines and water pipes going out to them.
- tonyedgecombe 8y agoActually I think you could both be right. Like for like cities are more efficient but I recently saw a statistic that said 50% of us live in cities but cities consume 70% of our resources. Consumption clearly has as much to do with wealth as where you live.
- badpun 8y ago> Factor in all the oil that was used to build the resources the city dweller depends on, and to maintain those resources. Factor in the sheer energy waste of cities. You need to be more specific, what specific resources are you talking about? All the resources that city dwellers depends on are also required in the villages (if we want to maintain the same standard of living), but there you usually need more of them per capita.
