You are not conducting a business from home, you don't need to insure your companies kit and being at home more make less likely to be targeted surely?
Petrol is a big cost and why waste it spending extra couple of hours a day to drive to an office to join Webex for colleagues in other offices?
But it's nationally we need to get usage down. A problem now is that companies are opening offices but many staff are working from home. So they are using energy to heat/light space that is minimally used.
Electricity generation should have been mostly nuclear/renewable by now leaving gas (especially) for domestic use where it's harder to change. But we also have to think globally. Other nations also want fuel and energy and have growing classes also wanting "what we have".
Finally to petro companies still flame off gas because it's too difficult to deal with? Why? That should be stopped.

It's to stop possible explosions occurring, it's called flaring.
