I don't know how efficient a houseful of IOTs can be, but I don't want one.
Second question: what's to keep my neighbor(s) from ignoring efficiency in favor of demand. So I'm doing without lights while they party on. (Please don't say regulations.)

It's the same thing that prevents him from buying fuel guzzling cars. (Note that sales of guzzlers inversely track pump gas prices.) Price fixing by the government has the perverse effect of continually causing demand to outstrip supply - rolling blackouts, shortages, rationing, etc.
