      From a macro economic perspective, (and im not advocating for a conspiracy, just aggregate business interest) they’re dropping energy usage so they can pay less on their electricity bills.

      So actually a double fu. get less so they can pay less rent, to provide lesser service.

      Because rent seeking is the only tech bubble left.
