Energy Upgrades do not reduce power consumption of the Electrolytic Separator

Issue description:

Energy Upgrades do not reduce the power consumption of the Electrolytic Separator, behavior is no different with Speed Upgrades installed as well (although they do properly increase power consumption).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install any number of Energy Upgrades in an Electrolytic Separator
  2. Run the machine and observe power drain

Version (make sure you are on the latest version before reporting):

Forge: 34.1.42 (1.16.3)
Mekanism: 1.16.4-10.0.17.444

This is intended, if the Electrolytic Separator had its power drain reduced with the energy upgrades it'd be possible to create a power loop with a gas burning generator, violating the laws of thermodynamics.

commented

It does support energy upgrades, they increase the size of the energy buffer in the machine.

Ah, well in that case, it says it supports Energy Upgrades, and probably should not.
