Why are you against increasing energy consumption? Increasing energy consumption is what pulled the world out of the feudal, warlord misery of the past. Maybe switch the focus of this feeling towards being against pollution or something that is a negative. Just being against energy consumption is quite regressive and anti-human.
And slavery is what pushed certain empires and colonies to riches, that doesn't mean we keep doing it forever expecting positive returns
Moving electrons around isn't inherently immoral like slavery is. It's odd to compare the two!
