From the article: "Whatever use you choose to put the electricity you pay for to, if you are satisfied, then the electricity has not been wasted."

That is far too selfish of a view for the author to take. Electricity is a finite resource; only so much of it can be generated and available at a given time.

Selfish or not, it appears that it's going to happen. We're on course for that, anyway.
