Well, we know that electricity is subsidized in many ways, see coal, petroleum or solar power for examples.

Furthermore, electricity prices do no include environmental externalities. So when you burn so much electricity for things that many people deem wasteful, those people do have reasons to get pissed and yell at you in the internet. Wellcome to modern society!
