Cities asking residents to use less power is largely due to the fact that most cities have no direct policy power to regulate electricity use. Electricity use is primarily the domain of state/provider policy. Cities asking residents to lower power usage is thereby an ask for residents to collectively work to avoid brown/black out situations for the collective good. Messaging like this without a similar ask to the tech/industrial community would still be short sighted at best.
