[Greenbuilding] Debunking Energy Efficency: Khazoom-Brookes Postulate

[Lance Collins]

That's why we need carbon taxes/ carbon trading to drive up the price 
of energy and discourage people from increasing consumption and 
instead create a demand for efficiency.

If all our energy was produced sustainably then increasing usage with 
improved efficiency would not be a serious issue.



>The energy efficiency "law" is called the Khazoom-Brookes Postulate. 
>The book is "Heat: How to Stop the Planet From Burning." You can 
>only get it mail order form the UK or Canada. It will be available 
>in the US in July. Monbiot was surprised and dismayed by the 
>postulate, as well.
