    Making them more efficient makes energy usage lower, which means lower emissions.

    Switching the power source doesn’t make them use less energy, they will use the exact same amount.

    The energy power source they switched to could power other industries/homes instead.

    Unless the mandate is “generate as much green energy as you’re consuming”. Which would probably mean they’d find some loophole like buying energy companies or something.
