I think you're using some weird EROI convention because usually EROI numbers are always compared to 1 and so any EROI number above 1 is a net energy generator; 2.5: 1 would mean you'd get 2.5 times as much energy out as you put in and thus would be worth doing, but that doesn't seem to be what you're saying. I think you mean 1:2.5 or as compared to 1 .4:1 or better yet just .4 . I need for you to clarify this point because I can't debate you when I'm not sure what you're saying.
