It makes me think of whenever the landlord supplies the appliances but doesn't pay the utilities. I was spending $25 a month to power a relic of a fridge, plus all the wasted heat from the single pane windows in a place that routinely gets to be -30. We ended up unplugging the fridge and going with a bar fridge instead.
In my mind anti-consumption/reducing waste includes utilities. We have finite resources everywhere and gotta balance that.
