Are you advocating for some sort of central authority who regulates what individuals use power for?

We already have that for large classes of equipment.

[thebean11]

And you want to extend that to any device that plugs into an outlet?

Just trying to get your position straight here.

[zepto]

It already does, if a particular regulated activity involves plugging devices into outlets.

What else might we think you were doing?

Can you be more specific about the existing regulated activities you're talking about? I don't get your point but I might just be missing something here. AFAIK, the reasons for existing regulations on "activities or devices" are not related to electrical usage..
