Selection follows: As we mine ever poorer grades of ore approaching the crustal abundance of these elements, we must provide an energy subsidy from fossil fuels that geologic processes provided for us in the past. It requires energy to go from a high entropy, dispersed state (crustal abundance) to a low entropy, concentrated state (ore). To that extent the human substitution ofan energy subsidy for one of nature's is a key to rising inflation. (James Mellett) If we focus our attention on solar energy, plant growth and manpower, we shall find that all our basic energy needs are available in abundance, not only kinetic energy for current supplies, but potential energy stored in living cells and organs, in plant fibers, wood, fossil fuels, bodily reserves offat and sugar, muscular structures, and finally etherealized in subjective superorganic form in the tissues of the human brain. (Lewis Mumford) The unit ofmeasure now being used 12 by some sophisticated whole system thinkers is sometimes called the "ecodollar." The eco-dollar can be used to measure the true cost of electricity purchased from Con Ed by including the health and cleaning costs of pollution in the calculated sum. The eco-dollar can be used to measure the loss ofa species ofwild bird in terms ofthe resultant simplification ofthe overall system when we lose that bird's concentration ofinformation in its gene pool. And the eco-dollar can be used to measure the social worth of a novel in terms ofthe new information or new ordering of information it brings into the social system.
