> If we're going to start legislating how we're all allowed to use energy that civilization has made available, who gets to decide what's allowed?

We already legislate different pricing for different applications. Household electricity has a different price than industrial usage. A 1000x price of electricity for certain applications is just a small extension of what we currently have.

In the UK electricity costs are essentially the same for all users with discounts applied for volume and time/ demand. Is this not the case elsewhere?

That is very much not the case here, no, nor in most of the world.
