It's always like this. Blaming the common man for problems Huge Corporations have caused. Reminds me of the Exxon Mobil tweet asking how regular ass people are going to "Lower their Carbon Footprint".
Fun fact: most large LED billboards produce enough heat to require built in AC units.
Update: Using an actual AC unit for cooling is an outdated method, and it's now rarely used. However the sheer number of LEDs and their brightness level uses several times more power than your average US home.
When San Antonio had "rolling" blackouts (quoted because they never actually instituted blackouts like they were apparently scheduled to) during the snow storms in February, whole sections of the city had no power for 4-7 days and yet there were dozens of office buildings downtown with all their lights on and no one in the buildings. And we were asked to conserve our energy and not run our heat.
