Abstract
From analyzing the physical constraints in managing exhaustible and nonrenewable energy resources it follows that decisions concerning how far to convert a given energy resource should be made within an economic framework. The tradeoffs between conversion stages, environmental effects, technical efficiency and uses satisfied by energy resources are then determined. In light of the direct and opportunity costs stemming from increased conversion stages, the intertemporal allocative decisions for exhaustible and nonrenewable energy resources are derived.
