which does not mean that consumers should not do their bit but i can see it working this way:

Consumer needs to go without a bright light (50 W instead of 100 W) = consumer loses

Producer changes production process (green methods, carbon capture-hah!, etc.) and charges consumer extra = consumer loses and producer wins

this is my poorly understood take on it...
