I covered the rebound effect here on CleanTechnica a couple months ago. The common argument of rebound effect enthusiasts is that energy efficiency actually increases energy use. Sound hard to believe? Yeah, that's because it's not true. Anyway, NRDC's David Goldstein, Sierra Martinez, and Robin Roy delved into this topic in more depth recently and I'm reposting a great article by David Goldstein on their new report below

You would think, intuitively, that energy efficiency is good — it saves us money and is good for the environment. Some have tried to argue that isn't actually true, that increased efficiency results in greater energy demand and usage. They seem to have confused themselves, though, because that just isn't true
