My exposure to this methodology was through H. T. Odum who
continues to push the envelope. If I remember correctly it was absolutely
critical that embodied energy in equipment and structures be properly
included and amortized in the accounting. There were also theories
about the values and costs of knowledge/information/education that had
to be quantified and as importantly qualified. For example our educations
were extremely costly but also maintain a high value over a long period
of time(a positive feed back loop)...
I am glad that this dialogue has begun and would like to point out, Loren,
that I believe that it needs to be maintained for the next couple of
decades...
Best,
Ted
