"I am super jacked to see progress being made in controlling the moral failings of certain humans, even if it has to be through banning the sale of alcohol nationwide."
I fail to see how this is an attack on people’s moral failings. PC makers can improve their idle energy usage and get back into the market. This seems no different from regulating the efficiency or emissions of fridges.
Alcohol is a good that is enjoyed by huge numbers of people for pleasure and to escape pain. It can also be produced from basically any foodstuff that contains starch. I don't think high power PCs fits into the same category.
