Exactly. Thanks.

Everyone probably realizes that, given time, if the market wants more
power or bandwidth, someone will produce and sell it.

We are arguing that at any given point in time (i.e. now) there is a
fixed amount of power or bandwidth. Leaving on every light and TV and
toaster in your home is a stupid waste of power. Adding 10%, 25%, 50%
or 200% (whatever it adds up to) to each of the millions (or is it
billions?) of email messages sent on the 'net each day by using HTML
is a stupid waste of bandwidth.
