Economic Growth With Energy November 2006 This paper works out some of the basic properties of an economy with energy as a factor of production. The economy now consists of streams of energy con- versions that direct energy to the production of goods and services. The focus on energy generates a variety of insights. It yields a new taxonomy of econo- mies and economic activities; allows a better grasp of the tasks performed by labor and capital; raises the prospect of examining growth as the speeding up of machines; and identifies greater use of energy as an important source of growth.
