Jevons paradox on the roof
Conventional wisdom says rooftop solar meets **exisiting** electricity demand.
What if rooftop solar actually **increases** electricity demand, improving living standards and driving economic growth?
This is exactly what our new analysis of Pakistan's solar boom shows. Let's dig in.. 🧵

Jevons' Paradox, eat your heart out
Solar just produced more electricity than coal in the US for the first month ever
and it won't be the last...
Over the last two decades, the role of coal and solar in the US mix has changed drastically
May 2006: 🪨 48%, ☀️ 0%
May 2016: 🪨 26%, ☀️ 2%
May 2026: 🪨 12%, ☀️ 13%
and it won't be the last...

a lotta yall still dont get it
Jevons holders can use multiple paradoxes on a single Jevon
so if you have 1 Jevon and 3 paradoxes you can create 3 new Jevons

As somebody informed me, it’s actually The Jevons Paradox, not Jevon’s Pqradox. There is actually a swarm of Jevons is why. The work like a hive mind so a single Jevon is meaningless

So there's been a lot of talk in AI circles about Jevons Paradox and @hankgreen.bsky.social has one of the best explainers of it I've seen (including that it's not a paradox), but I want to add something to it.

People think getting an electric bike means you get less of a workout but they don't understand the Jevons paradox.
This is how I feel about my electric bike. I just biked from the Ferry building to the Sutro Baths with my 4 year old and my understanding of SF's layout has grown immensely.
