Your comment is shockingly out of touch, are you Elon Musk? Check out Mr. Billionaire over here, with money to throw away on idle computers. I live in California. Electricity is not free, or even cheap. I have 4 computers. 1 out in the garage that's my "off-site" backup system, complete with LTO tape drive. It's also got an 8 drive RAID10 array. I don't need it running 24/7. I need it on when I have a backup job for it to do, and off when I don't need it on. I have a workstation that I only use when I'm developing personal code. I don't need it running 24/7. It also has 8 spinning disks, video card, and a massive CPU. It consumes about 300W of power, so that adds up. My laptop is off when I'm not using it, but even that I wake remotely from time to time when I'm out in the garage and need a file from it. I have 1 server that runs 24/7 and handles Plex, security cameras, and 6 virtual machines. It's a workhorse, but it's got a 65W CPU in it and barely uses the video card. My electric bill is $600/month in the summer months, mostly due to AC but I don't need to make it any worse by running 4 computers continuously when I don't need to.
