OG12 - P1 中的句子求解释

zhaoyiqing

Moreover, there is no guarantee that increased  economic growth
from ecoefficiency will come in similarly ecoefficient ways, since in
today's global markets, greater profits may be turned into
investment capital that could easily be reinvested in old-style
eco-ineffiencient industries. Even a vastly more ecoefficient industrial
system could(what??), were(复数？？) it to grow much larger, generate more
total waste and destroy more habitat and species than would a
smaller , less ecoefficient economy.

highlighed 的部分不是很理解，下面给出我的理解，大家来看看对么
1come in similarly ecoefficient ways，增长了以后就不环保， 后面对这句话进行解释
2 转述一下, 原文用了倒装和虚拟语气，不是很理解
If it grow much lager, vastly more ecoefficient industrial
system could generate more total waste and destroy
more habitat and species than would a  smaller , less ecoefficient economy

另外，不能保证由于环保节能获得的经济增长会重新投入到类似的环保节能的（生产）方式，原因是在现在的全球市场上，更多的利润可能会投资在老的不节能的工业中。

后面一句是虚拟语气插入语， were it to grow much larger
甚至一个非常环保节能的工业系统，如果变得非常大的话，会比一个小的，不是那么环保节能的经济产生更多的废物和破坏更多的栖息地和物种。

我觉得第二个可能是 if it were to grow much larger 的省略吧。第一个就说不清楚了。。。
