Bioenergy update

Abstract

In this article we will consider the meaning of the word "Energy" and what it is that we wish to measure? Science has, to a large degree, appropriated the word energy to mean that which can be measured with instruments. Any other form of energy is subjective and therefore discounted as being of any interest to scientists. This has tended to polarise those who regard themselves as purists in science and those who have a much more open minded view of the word energy.
