The Diderot Effect in Reverse!

I just posted a piece about the new solar water heater, and how it came to be installed.
Diderot noticed that when he procured an elegant robe, his whole boudoir looked so shabby it needed to be redecorated. Hence the robe had many hidden costs.
Meenal and Afshin became distressed about how much energy their conventional water heater consumed when they cut back on all their other electrical appliance consumption!
