Jerome Lewandowski
TL;DR
This paper presents a model analyzing how economic activity, energy depletion, and energy quality interact within our fossil fuel-dependent thermo-industrial civilization.
Contribution
It introduces an intuitive model that captures the complex interplay between economic growth, energy depletion, and energy quality in industrial civilization.
Findings
Highlights the critical dependence on fossil fuels.
Emphasizes the importance of energy quality in economic processes.
Provides a framework for understanding energy depletion impacts.
Abstract
The current thermo-industrial civilization is critically dependent on fossil fuel energy sources. An intuitive model capturing the interplay between economic activity, physical power consumption, depletion and energy quality is presented.
