Huh? Cost vs EROI differences show potential for improvements. You can never cheat bad eroi of RE grid.

RE grid doesn't have a "bad EROI". The EROI of renewables is quite acceptable.

  • Not if you factor in all the residual. Adding to fossil or water based grid is okay, running on its own with all the necessary residual it gets way worse.

    • Yes, even if you factor in "all the residual".

      EROI cannot be bad, since energy is only a small part of the cost of manufacturing. If EROI was unacceptable, then overall cost would be too.
