Absolutely right. All this ethanol, biodiesel blah blah, all micro and macro is what counts. Most economists don't get that, cause they don't look at the energy structure of the whole economy, which my colleagues do. A long planned project that is oft delayed is to combine the neoclassical and input-output approaches to energy energy analysis and get a better macro take on all this stuff. Math is hard, occasionally I get clues. Right now in between posting here I am writing a paper on the effect of NAFTA on the environment in Mexico (someone is paying me for this and the presentation I will give on in it in December). Mainly time series analysis of the data. Now I am writing the lit review (pretty boring). Next week complete the data and start running the models. Don't know yet if this will work. Methods (some invented by me) are proven but the data may be insufficient. Yeah, people know all about the geek-nerd product releases, Monster drinks or whatever but are clueless about the big picture.
