• A Green New Deal without growth? (2021, background): “(2018) simulate that if renewables increased from 15% to 50% by 2050 average EROI would drop to 3:1 when accounting for the energy required to extract and build the infrastructure, which is less than the 11:1 deemed necessary for a growing economy (Fizaine and Court, 2016).”
• Research On Degrowth (2018, unknown): “Studies suggest that economic growth requires a minimum EROI of close to 11:1 (53).”
