Power consumption and power production are simply directly related. Your clumsy attempt at an analogy here really misses the mark.
The root cause of this issue is our power production isn't clean enough, and therefore consumption drives pollution. What do you address first - the demand or the supply?
It's quite simply amazing to see so little ability to grasp anything beyond immediate consequences of a problem, particularly on a site like this.
