In economics, Jevons's paradox sometimes the Jevons effect occurs when technological progress increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the rate of consumption of that resource rises because of increasing demand. Jevons's paradox is perhaps the most widely known paradox in environmental economics.

In the R. Mills energy economy to come, one hydrogen atom will produce 27 ev worth of energy. That reaction will remove that hydrogen atom forever from our world. A molecule of water will produce 54 electron volts.

Mills says that since fuel is free then conservation an efficiency is not important. Only ten percent of the energy produced by the SunCell is used. So every water molecule will produce 5 ev of power and 50 ev of waste heat.

The IEA estimates that, in 2013, total world energy consumption was 9,301 Mtoe, or 3.89 × 10e20 joules.

That comes to 2.4285712855e+39 ev.

So the amount of water molecules that will be consumed is on the order of 10e39.

The density of water is 1g/(cm3) so in 1 gallon of water ( about 3.785 Liters or 3785cm3) the mass of the water is, 3785g. 1 mole of 6.02x1023 molecules of water is equal has the mass in grams equal to the molecular weight or 18 grams per mole. so 3785 grams corresponds to about 1.265 x 10e26 molecules of water.

The water consumed will be 10e39/10e26 or 10e13 gallons of water.

or 378.54 cubic kilometers of water/year.

There is 1.332 billion cubic kilometers of water on the earth

Since water is free, we can assume that the water consumption by SunCell will rise to 1,332 cubic kilometers per year due to Jevons's paradox.

So we will have about million years of water to use before it all is gone.

But long before that water limit is reached, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere will become dangerous.

How much atmospheric pressure can you and yours take? Venus, here we come...

The effects of oxygen toxicity may be classified by the organs affected, producing three principal forms:

Central nervous system, characterised by convulsions followed by unconsciousness, occurring under hyperbaric conditions;

Pulmonary (lungs), characterised by difficulty in breathing and pain within the chest, occurring when breathing increased pressures of oxygen for extended periods;

Ocular (retinopathic conditions), characterised by alterations to the eyes, occurring when breathing increased pressures of oxygen for extended periods.

Quote from Zephir_AWT

The reference to Jevons's paradox will undoubtedly have its significance for (successful) future of LENR -

R. Mills has made a choice to invent his own future energy world by renouncing LENR and inventing his own science. That Science has unintended environmental consequences because of its profligate use of resources and its low power density which is a result of its non nuclear nature.

But the conversion of hydrogen to dark matter has issues of its own because it consumes and removes an important element from the environment thus disturbing natures balance through transmutation.

Regarding: "the lack of oxygen"...you need to learn to read more effectively. The point is to show an increase in the toxicity of the atmosphere from water decomposition as a result of Mills science.

The theme of the post was to show how R. Mills' in his attempt to stay clear of the LENR nuclear stigma engenders more serious environmental consequences from the overuse of a resource.

Of course, the post is nonsense because the Mills science is nonsense but you can't see that and take the post seriously.

One consequence of free fuel based Jevons's paradox is the production of clean water in massive amounts.

People like to live in deserts but at the same time have unlimited access to pure water for their golf courses, pools, gardens, and lawns. Water generation and management will require massive amounts of cheap energy to accomplish. As the population of the earth continues to increase, people for a start will move into the Sahara desert, the Arabian desert, and the American southwest. To keep these places green, pipeline networks from desalination plants on the coast will penetrate to every square meter of these now unusable parcels of land.

The other use of nearly free power will be massive use of air conditioning to beat the desert heat.

Evangelists for driverless cars see a bright future coming down the road: thousands of lives saved, countless driving hours freed up, cityscapes transformed with traffic jams vanquished.

Renault-Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn summed up the transformations as a "reshuffling of the cards" for the industry.

"There is a new game, let's see who is going to be able to prevail," he told an audience in Davos.

In public, auto bosses are focusing on the ways that going driverless is going to change our lives for the better.

Ghosn painted a picture of a world where we are liberated not only to check our emails or watch TV while in the driver's seat, but also run an entire office on the move.

"You can be in the car and do everything you're doing in the house or in the office—except that it's mobile," he enthused.

A salesman can take his house and office on the road in a road cruiser on a perpetual road trip just like a migrant bedouin tribesmen on his camel in days long past.
