unfortunately we will run into Jevon's paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
It isn't the making of more efficient things (which we should do)
It is the changing of human attitudes towards consumption that we need to solve.
Interesting read about Jevons paradox, thanks for the link.
I know that we don't want to reduce our comfort, but there are ways to keep it and reduce energy demand, or reduce comfort just a little but (ex. using small cars).
well if we encourage proper mass transit, then people wouldn't need to spend money on liabilities (cars) and we could have substantial improvements in reducing our total energy demand while providing greater mobility and transportation access to those most desperately in need.
