math ?'s

So can you please provide a bit more elaboration on if US energy costs are 7-8% of GDP than it follows that a durable good has a associated energy cost of 7-8%?  I'm not trying to be a smart a$$. I'm just trying to understand your logic and thought process. Some products obviously take way more energy to produce than others. Can you cite any other studies not linked to proving or disproving this one that used your "rule of thumb" about associated energy costs?  If reputabel ones exist, I can move on.

Of course, explanation your logic and thought process will provide insight as to how willing we are to accept or refute the rest of your methods of debunking the "study". Please also explain how your rule of thumb could or could not be used to conclude that by 2015 20% of the cost of a vehicle an be attributed to health care which is estimated at that time to be 20% of GDP. Then there is the cost of crime associated to GDP... (real or imagined in the case of a Hummer... OK now I AM being a smart a$$).On Prius easily beats Hummer in lifecycle energy use; 'Dust to Dust' report has no basis in fact posted 2 years, 3 months ago 15 Responses
