I don't remember the name of the effect, but it seems to happen a lot of times when newer technologies makes things consume less. People end up consuming more, either by increase of size, duration of use of using more of the thing.
This isn't an example of that though, its just a result of deliberately terrible emissions regulation brought on by lobbying.
Yep, providing exemptions for vehicles under the weight threshold where a commercial driver's license is required is dumb.
Could you elaborate?
Edit: I see, other people mentioned in the thread about the lobbies and efforts to mask emissions.
Vacuum cleaners are the classic example, IMO.
When introduced, they were supposed to make cleaning rugs take less time, freeing time and effort for other activities, but instead housewives just cleaned their rugs more often.
Would means rugs are quite a bit cleaner now, so I would say the vacuum did its job.
led comes to mind here with this explanation.
extremely more efficient then most other light sources. but because it is so efficient we see led being used everywhere. and almost never turned of because people say it barely uses any power.
also the operating time is so high that companies purposely put components behind the led that break so they can sell more. (similar what they did to the old light bulb)

Could you elaborate with more detail, or share some links for articles that describe that?
Induced demand. If the option is there people will use it.

Yes! It's called Jevons paradox
Wow it is like induced demand but for resources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
Thank you!
