Talk:Embodied energy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Major Editing

There seems to be many different types of embodied energy analysis, each of which has contributed to the developmental history of the subject. I have tried to give a brief overview of some of the differences. I have also included a new separate entry for the Emergy concept with associated links Sholto Maud 04:39, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bias

I could not help but notice the heavy-handed bias in the discussion about embodied energy in building materials, specifically about straw bales. I won't make arguments here, but would suggest that instead of using negative language in regards to a specific material, that be replaced by wording along the lines of "the scope of the energy used in the manufacture of the materials is difficult to determine, often allowing for wide ranges in embodied energy values for a given material."

Hi Andrew. I've tried to clear up the article a little. How does it read now? Sholto Maud 21:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello Sholto - It reads much more neutrally now. Thank you. Andrew Netherton, 22 March 2006
