ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Thermoeconomics

Thermoeconomics is like economics, but with an extra element: understanding how energy fits into the equation. It's a way of looking at the world and how we use energy to do things. It's useful for understanding how much energy things need, and how to use energy more efficiently. Think of it kind of like a game - if you can figure out how to use energy in the most efficient way, you can do more with less.
