It's a good thing we're working on nuclear fusion plants, because we needs that juice. LOL

Even though that fusion station is only a test bed for an actual fusion plant (and will take decades) at least they're trying. Of course, there's always renewable energy. Gamers should demand wind turbines and solar panels to put EVERYWHERE.
Humanity has lived without electricity for way longer than it has with electricity, so "wasting energy" won't get rid of the human race.
I have a feeling you should get out more? Go and take a walk in a forest or something... reconnect with the world around you. Take a technology sabbath and go find real people to talk with. Here's a hint: they're EVERYWHERE! LOL
