This is a big problem nowadays. Looking a bit into the future these incentives might be the reason that electricity will be available for almost free.
In the short run, this looks bad: 90% of the energy is consumed by tech. In the long run the technological advancements this creates might be the reason we solve energy problems much quicker and without killing mother earth in the long run. But who knows, we can all just watch in awe and hope for the best.
There's no money in free energy.
We're getting rid of all those things, too
