yeah, the average power plant is one of the heaviest power and resource consuming devices in a given area. it’s still a net positive, but making energy and refining crude fossil fuels is difficult and expensive.
Yeah well again though it’s about comparing it to say pop in and scare as the initial method. They never really gave a notable difference in say how many screams could be extracted per kidnapped kid per day versus say how many the door scare teams were making etc… So it’s difficult to compare the EROI between the 2. (and of course that’s ignoring the laughter method, as we can assume that’s discovery wasn’t made until the end of the movie).
and that’s of course before factoring in the issues that simply would arrise from kidnapping sentient humans. IE a significant event of human children vanishing from beds would inevitably lead to a cross dimensional war.
Its all EROI just like oil and such. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_return_on_investment# As long as its above one and there are no better alternatives it might make sense.

thing is. I know this is surprising. But many in leadership positions do not think far ahead enough in terms of consequences.
