Yeah, but the point is for the peasants to NOT use energy,
or only to use it when the neo-nobility “allows” it.

Reminds me of the tale of the King traveling through “his” lands and stopping at a hovel to warm himself. There was no fire, and when the king asked why, the peasant replied that it was by his order that the peasants only use so much firewood and he had used all his up already.

Good one!
