    "You are still ignoring the total energy inputs over the lifecycle of the installed capacity. "

    I can't be ignoring it, because I did not create the concept of ERoEI, which includes total lifetime energy inputs.

    ERoEI defined as the ratio of all of the usable energy returned during a system's lifetime, to all the invested energy needed to make this energy usable.

    You can debate how ERoEI is calculated if you want, but you can't debate the way it is defined.
