Yes. It's a silly concept to discriminate on energy usage this way. If the issue is that the grid is carbon intensive, then make the grid less carbon intensive.

I mean if the idea is to reduce carbon emissions perhaps look to where the most waste is generated - transportation.

Faulty memory here. Transportation accounts for largest energy use sector (which to me screams “probably should look here for efficiency”)

Electric grid is 65% waste.

Exactly this. Determining a “just” use of electricity is a fool’s errand. More likely, a deceitful attempt at market control. People consume energy for reasons they believe to valuable and can be quite subjective. It’s not the use we need to concerned about. It’s the production of energy abundance that we should ensure is done in the most sustainable way long term.
