Examination of how policy measures could reduce increased energy burden felt by LI (low income) households. This model works to reconcile energy burden data provided by C3 Climate Collaborative with solar programs in Charlottesville. 

Jevons Paradox says that energy efficiency measures lead to an increase in energy use and not, as expected, to a reduction. The same paradox applies to efforts to conserve energy. Those that  try to conserve energy by walking to work or line-dry their clothes  may feel satisfaction, but their efforts are probably in vain:  the energy saved will promptly be used  by others, especially as saving energy causes it to become cheaper.  This CLD tries to illustrate the dynamic that operates behind the paradox.

Please note that Tim Garrett, an atmospheric scientist, recently confirmed the validity of the Jevons Paradox which had already been proposed in 1865.
