- Its strength is stopping "efficiency" upgrades that cost more resource to build than they will ever save — a real risk once rebound is netted in — and it rests on the well-established idea of energy or carbon payback time.
This sourceNational Renewable Energy Laboratory. NREL/FS-520-24619. (1999). Defines energy payback time by comparing embodied manufacturing energy and associated emissions with lifetime energy production.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
