1What does high energy intensity of economic output indicate?
Answer: The economy uses a lot of energy to produce each unit of GDP.
2How does abundant, cheap energy usually affect long-term GDP growth?
Answer: It enables higher GDP growth by lowering production costs and expanding activity.
3What does path dependence in national energy systems mean?
Answer: Past energy choices lock countries into infrastructures that shape future options.
4Why is a high energy return on investment crucial for industrial viability?
Answer: It leaves ample surplus energy to power factories, transport, and services.
5In economic history, what is an energy transition?
Answer: A long-term shift to a new dominant energy source and supporting technologies.
