Verizon should get off their lazy asses and spend more effort on improving their networks and customer service than fighting the truth. If they choose take the crazy route with the lawyers, then welcome, the Streisand effect may actually shine some light on their profit maximizing business practices.

Apart from a larger electricity bill, I dont see any green benefits of powering down at night. The power station does not throttle down at night or according to grid load, so they run all night pumping energy and CO2 out in the air as far as I know. What we should consider instead is how to reduce electricity use in general and during peak hours, in addition to investigate other ways to mitigate the peak load, vehicle to grid is one idea. Our electricity grid is dimensioned, maintained and funded for those rear peak occurrences when we use a lot more electricity than normal.
