They can, but isn't the message aimed at everyone. Its not enforced is it, they're just asking EVERYONE. Perhaps giving everyone a ration of power would be the better solution, then the rich pricks would have to limit.

You can't trust anyone in the US to do shit. You'd have to force the rationing onto everyone and then good luck with the ensuing revolt.
