I agree -- but the picture is often more complicated for places that rely heavily on tourism and marketing.
The image portrayed by a tourist destination that is making large efforts towards 'green initatives' may be a more enticing sell to the increasing number of 'eco-tourists', many of which have never thought a day in their life about EROI.
- gorkish 4y agoI appreciate that you are calling it straight, but it's worth pointing out that there are others who see eco theater as incredibly harmful, particularly when such things start to cannibalize public resources and funding. Take, for example, all current and past solar roadway projects. I also want to be clear that I am not passing any judgement on these tiles. I don't know the economics or the funding of this project in any way. But it does seem to have plenty of indicators for being a boondoggle.
