“…IO analysis has influenced the early development of linear programming models as a result of the empirical programming needs [216], [217]. Several studies in using linear programming models coupled with the IO framework for different purposes are identified [218][219][220][221][222][223][224], as well as introducing environmental and energy (and combinations of both) objectives [225][226][227].…”

This paper brings together several contemporary topics in energy systems aiming to provide a literature review based reflection on how several interrelated energy systems can contribute together to a more sustainable world. Some directions are discussed, such as the improvement of the energy efficiency and environmental performance of the systems, the development of new technologies, the increase of the use of renewable energy sources, the promotion of holistic and multidisciplinary studies, and the implementation of new management rules and "eco-friendly and sustainable" oriented policies at different scales. The interrelations of the diverse energy systems are also discussed in order to address their main social-economic-environmental impacts. The subjects covered include the assessment of the electricity market and its main players (demand, supply, distribution), the evaluation of some urban systems (buildings, transportation, commuting), the analysis of the implementation of renewable energy cooperatives, the discussion of the diffusion of the electric vehicle and the importance of new bioenergy systems. This paper also presents relevant research carried out in the framework of both the Energy for Sustainability Initiative of the University of Coimbra and the Sustainable Energy Systems focus area of the MIT-Portugal Program. To conclude, several research topics that should be addressed in the near future are proposed.

“…In particular, George and colleagues (including, during 1975-1990, Pat McAllister, Shail Parikh, John Stone, and others) had developed PILOT, a multiperiod investment and production model of the United States economy. George was especially fond of the associated linear programs not only because they display the staircase structure that never failed to engross him but also because the PILOT model is, in his words, "the real McCoy -a powerful tool for making policy decisions" [2].…”

“…George was an inspiration to people in his field as well as to people who never met him; to his amusement, his famous "two unsolved problems" homework incident once served as the theme of a radio sermon about positive thinking given by a minister he met on an airplane [2]. GBD was quiet and gentle, but utterly unforgettable.…”
