In this deep dive, we unpack the Jevons Paradox—how making systems more efficient can boost overall resource use. We trace its roots in 18th-century coal, connect it to modern AI and computational power, examine rebound effects, and explore policy ideas like green taxes and cap-and-trade for computing. Tune in for practical questions on steering technology toward true sustainability rather than just faster progress.
