Jevons paradox

I knew the concept but didn’t realize that’s what it is called. Similar to induced demand. It does highlight the need for cultural change, and policy change. But efficiency isn’t the only route, creating manufacturing processes that are renewable, and use renewable energy, is another route.

Heating, cooling, and manufacturing represent a much bigger piece of the pie. I bike instead of drive when I can, but figuring out how to boost efficiency with heating and cooling will be a much bigger change if you are a home owner. Solar, geothermal, heat exchanger, improved insulation, etc. Its also something any homeowner can do with out relying on society to improve its own infrastructure.
