Javons Paradox can actually be seem as an argument against a specific type of argument for them.

The assumption goes something like "these things are usually expensive in terms of both money and resources to run, so making them more efficient should reduce both and make them 'cleaner' and cheaper.

OR

"I only use them a little."

Javons Paradox is therefore an argument that says something like the more efficient they become then the more they will be used, disproving the point that people won't or don't use them much and that they are somehow cleaner now, since it completely removes the advantages of them being cheaper in resource use as using them more means resources are still used at the same level, if not more than, as before.

As well as that people just start using them more.
