- Summary
- This report represents a review and evaluation of the literature dealing with energy analysis. It is a review and evaluation of its methods and applications. Energy analysis is viewed in the broadest possible context, with a broad range of conclusions reached. Without doubt, the critical question is how to allocate scarce resources currently and over time so as to treat present and future generations equitably. The authors feel that, due to the weaknesses discussed throughout the report, energy analysis alone--in any form--is not capable of answering that critical question. Nevertheless, because of its concentration on the flow of physical variables through the economic network, energy analysis can be a useful complement to economic analysis in technological assessments and public policy decision making. 178 references.
