### Comment:
It is flawed, but it’s not be fully discounted. The scope of what is included in the EROI calculations are subject to bias.  There are other renewable and cleaner sources than coal though that can do the same thing. Biomass conversion technologies such as hydrothermal carbonization provide a means of, I hate the fuckin term but, renewable clean coal. I agree with you, energy utility is an important factor to consider.
