It seems that charging a premium on energy use beyond a certain threshold would be far more effective. The carbon-cost of investigating high-end consumer electronics might actually be more than the few PCs that would be purchased.

Similar to how broadband is charged? On the flipside of that, energy users could also have their energy throttled based on the number of consumers in the household.

You have x energy credits as part of the package, if you don't want to pay over that then your energy will, of course, be throttled.
