You say it is a waste, but to the store, it is an advertising expense.

Would you rather they buy Facebook ads and use hydroelectric (assuming ad server's power source)?

It's both a waste as well as an advertising expense. It's an expense that has a much higher cost and externality than the benefit of the advertising.
