You don't really create energy, do you? You act as a channel for it to enter the world but you're not creating it. You can't really make more of something that's infinite.
And therein lies our difference-you pull your energy from a higher source, we draw from what's already here. It's at this point when I need to make a differentiation between darkworkers and vampires. Asmoday already hit on this when he said that taking some power wouldn't stop the guy in the apartment above from cooking his ramen. Vampires would drain the whole damn building and then move somewhere else. We take the excess.
That energy has to go somewhere, you can't pull it here and just leave it sit. Eventually the world would lose any sense of coherence. It'd be movement without traction. Left in the hands of the sleepers that energy makes for some good highs but only a small percentage of them wake up and put it to use. That's where we come in. You give us the stone, we make the sculpture.
