Energy analysis and EMERGY analysis—a comparison
139
TL;DR: A comparison between energy analysis and energy analysis is presented in this article, where the authors present a consistent comparison of EA and EMA applied to the same system, and show that EMA is more subject to criticism, and more likely to fail in its putative policy uses.
