Gee almost as if capitalism is the actual underlying issue.
Free market economics are going to slurp any extra watt as long as it's capable of making a modicum of profit, unless it is just told "no". The private sector is going to have to pay far more for their power, or else we'll never reach NET zero emissions.
Even if it’s told “no,” it’ll take the person or entity that denied them access straight to the courts, all the while continuing to do so anyway.

- Everytime, anyone every mentions any of the many unfair advantages that businesses are getting.
Just replace "economy" with "rich peoples money" to translate.
Perhaps people would give a shit about the economy if we could afford to own a house?
The really juicy bit is the hypocrisy of asking common people to refrain from consuming.
"Fuck you plebe" would at least have the positive of being honest.
That’s history. The ones with the means hoard anything of value while blaming the commons for their problems. Doesn’t matter if it’s the Irish Potato Famine or telling us global warming is our fault because we didn’t buy enough greenwashed shit to fix it.
