To give an example of how this could work, I would like to take Norway as an example, though as will be seen later this is not quite a reasonable choice. Norway is of course very rich. Not only does it have a very well

Essentially figures 1.3.5 to 1.3.7 bring together the economic and physical diagrams discussed in Ayres & Nair [Ayres & Nair 1984]; so that the circulation of wealth and money complies with the laws of physics as well as the laws of finance. The discussions o

To many the above will seem ridiculously naïve, but the example of Norway given previously shows that the numbers can add up, and a three day week is feasible. As long as enough capital is available.

The concept of 'negentropy' as value, as articulated by Ayres & Nair [Ayres & Nair 1984] for example, is not just basic common sense; it works as a theoretical approach, as evidenced by the models in part A.

Current storage options include hydroelectric, already used in Northern Europe with storage in Norway, hot oil in CSP plants, grid scale sodium/sulphur batteries, or just old fashioned domestic electrical storage heaters with bricks in them. The cos

The paper of Ayres & Nair [Ayres & Nair 1984] provides a typical example. I have found this paper profoundly useful in guiding my ideas as to how to link the mathematics of e
