As for the advent of tablets, Chevy Volts, etc etc that is not much of a factor. Nor is the use of CFLs. Study Jevons Paradox. In a normal-functioning economy where growth is taking place, you will always have increased consumption to go with any and all increases in efficiency. Increases in efficiency lead to greater productivity, which generates wealth and thus leads to greater consumption. This is rather well documented. Increased efficiency increases living standards, but it in itself does not reduce demand or consumption of a resource.
The evidence you have for this is non-existent, save for some obscure, unproveable theory no one particularly credible believes. I hate to break it to you, but it's a simple mathematical certainty that people consume less energy if they use products that consume less energy. For example, my personal total electrical consumption has gone down since I replaced my desktop with a tablet and my laptop with a phone. I'm not going to consume any additional energy because the Jevons Paradox says I will. I have reached a plateau where my energy consumption
cannot increase because I get no usefulness or utility from it.
Those kind of pathetic baseless groundless mindless personal insults and all other attempts at ad hominem are exactly what I would expect from the bootlickers. I'm talking about real facts and real trends and all you can respond with is a bunch of sad sorry drivel. You have no idea what you are talking about, have no evidence to support any of that nonsense, and furthermore I dont think you give two craps about facts, logic or anything else. You just lick boots and take names. Enjoy the mess your kind has made.
I didn't make any mess, loony toons.
QFT. This is why the push to elect Ron Paul has reached its peak, it is their last chance as the group is composed entirely of virgins and has no means of reproduction to further increase its numbers, the number of new unique recruits isn't keeping pace with the number of virgins dying leaving no offspring to carry on the message.
PSA Paulbots! Get off zerohedge, oftwominds, mises.org and IMPREGNATE WOMEN!
Impregnating women and being in a relationship (more the latter than the former) tends to soften and offset the crazy (unless you're marrying like kind). Discussing divergent viewpoints with people, mostly in person, and considering them seriously has the same effect. Especially in a 9-5 workplace atmosphere. That's what happens when you immerse yourself in the real world.
Hey now, he did study economics at a school where only 75% of the economists there worked at one point or another for the federal reserve as opposed to the standard 95%. I'd go so far as to say that anything he says completely lacks any bias at all.
lol, you conspiracy theory Paulbots truly are funny.
In actuality, I've never had a professor that worked for the Fed save for one.
