35 p, 1.4 MB Power capacity: A key element in sustainability assessment / Díaz Maurin, François ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
In the field of complex energetics, human societies to survive follow the same 'maximum power principle' as other living systems. In this view, human societies developed because they have been able to increase 'their capacity to convert energy at a given time rate' rather than simply increase 'their level of energy consumption'.
