Like it or not, the modern world runs on electricity, and while minimising power usage is surely beneficial, the key issue is the method used to generate the power in the first place.

IMO there should be far greater use of renewable energy to generate power both on a large (national grid) and small (individual household) scale and far more incentives to achieve this (both financial and legislative) other than the obvious environmental incentive.
