Return On Energy Invested, but I have to ask myself why would anybody use
such a obscure acronym? Is it because he expects all his readers to already
know what it means? I don't think so, I think it's an attempt to blind his
potential critics with bafflegab. By the way, "IHAS" stands for "I Hate
Acronyms Society".

To be fair, we've been using "EROEI" quite a bit on this list, so it's fair
to assume by now that most readers here are familiar with it.
