It's none of your business. The electricity is purchased privately. "Load placed on grids starts to impact the average consumer" is like somebody keeps buying all the boxes of the kind of Cheerios you like, i.e., not an infringement of your rights, just market stuff happening. You living in my neighborhood "impacts" me in ways I don't like, but I don't give you a hard time about it because I don't have the mentality of putting my nose into the details of other people's lives. There's an unacknowledged cult rising to prominence, and one of its tenets is that "electricity should only be used in small quantities for approved purposes". Well, I reject that. If your concern is pollution, please speak about that, not electricity use.
