What can Jevons' Paradox tell us about energy law?

One positive way of looking at this is we can get Jevon&#x27;s Law to work for us by applying it to renewable energy sources: something that we see right now. As the price of solar energy in the home falls, we&#x27;ll see increasing adoption, and it will be put to more uses. At some point, it will fall to the point that it becomes attractive to commercial users.<p>I&#x27;m not trying to imply that this will happen automatically, of course. However, there&#x27;s ample opportunity to get a virtuous cycle of efficiency and increasing demand for renewable energy.

Except it isn&#x27;t counter-intuitive at all, even to undergraduate economists.<p>All the interesting economic decision activity takes place at the margin, efficiency improvements move the margin and the unprofitable becomes profitable.<p>It&#x27;s not even paradoxical.
