Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Show me the error in my understanding and arguments. Thank you.
Your 1KJ of output energy is an overall Energy Sink (-999 KJ). It costs more in energy than it produces. Hence it has a negative energy return. EROEI has nothing to do with profit. It's simply an energy calculation.
Your 0.001 figure shows the percentage of energy returned on energy invested. When it is less than one e.g. 0.9999* You have a negatve EROEI. _________________ "Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box."
