The Jevons Paradox is why you do NOT TRY TO SAVE ELECTRICITY.
Why? It merely increases the consumption of electricity and demand for increased production of electricity.
At your most optimum, you will simply transfer cleaner electrical production domestically to uncleaner electrical production overseas.
ECONOMICS IS COUNTER-INTUITIVE.
All human behavior is best understood as hydraulic. Something here is always offset by something there.

—“….as the energy efficiency of engines increases, markets [identify increased opportunities for their use, resulting in] increased overall energy use.”— Jevons Paradox
longer version
—-“Engines, both literally and figuratively, power the modern era. Engines matter because they convert otherwise useless forms of energy into useful work. And as the energy efficiency of engines increases, markets use more of them in more varied ways, which throughout history has resulted in increased overall energy use – a.k.a. the Jevons Paradox.”—

If someone is referring to household income, or average income, or any of a few dozen other common metrics, they are undoubtedly lying. This kind of thing is repairable rather easily It would however cause the middle class to revolt if they understood how they were lied to daily.

Most false speech today is economic, statistical, and financial, since this is the primary means of political decidability in the postwar era.There are a host of them.The most common I cite is household income, and the most common economists refer to is productivity. (aggregates)

I don’t make mistakes in these matters. I answered the question repeatedly as to who and why and how it can be repaired. The primary problem is rent seeking which is always the problem of bureaucratic orders throughout history. You apparently don’t like the answer.

@curtdoolittle @vdare Not answering the question.

The financial system redistributes liquidity through the financial system thereby enabling rents upon money borrowed from ourselves.There is no extant reason why liquidity necessary to stimulate consumption and reorganization of production is not distributed directly to citizens.

Who or what sectors? There are malincentives in the commercial, financial, academic, and political sectors.The most directly detrimental is the financial; the most indirectly detrimental the pseudosciences; the easiest to fix the commercial, and the most difficult the political.

@curtdoolittle @vdare Whom do you consider to be the most parisitic? Then 2nd, then 3rd?
Who are the top 3 parasites?
