Another thing that breaks Jevon’s paradox are technologies that automate conservation. My company moved to a newly-constructed office building, and all the lights in conference rooms turn off automatically if there is no-one there. A neighbor is installing the same type of tech in his house (he's admittedly an early adopter/gadget lover, so he isn't as concerned with the payback period). I can only see this trend accelerating as the tech cost falls.

My parents used to apply a same kind of solution for our own house. It's called 'turn of the lights when you leave a room'.
