It's so deeply wrong... There are countless methods how people are wasting energy. Banks are open for no reasons, traffic lights are not synchronised, half of Europe has "siesta" in the middle of the day and so on.
We also need to understand one of the fundamentals in the economy: if it's profitable - it's already too late.
Try to imagine how pointless it was to cut a river in half, build some crazy structure called a dam, put a crazy amount of work into all the machinery. And all of that to bring electricity so people could have light?!
Why, it's so stupid, who needs electricity?! We are doing fine without it. People used to live without that new tech for millennia... That electricity thing should be banned!
