All the major industries are built on people consuming and buying more, from clothes to phones. They give power ratings for electronics themselves but that is for that one unit not how they expect you to keep buying more and more. We could ban tons of industries if we wanted to and life would go on, it's difficult to say what deserves the energy spent and what not.

An industry can simultaneously increase its output and be more efficient. Look up 'efficiency'.
