And your perception of the benefits of energy efficiency is as much a scientific outlier as the perception of those who think global warming is caused by sunspots.

You've taken the minor rebound effect that is an actual facet of energy efficiency and with no evidence made it into the absurd claim you've stated above. I've seen you perform this same funky, inbred analysis on other topics and you've yet to be correct even once.

Of course, it does serve the interests of the nuclear energy industry to pretend that energy efficiency isn't effective, so I don't expect you'll be entering the mainstream any time soon.
