one of my favorite jokes about this is on TNG. i think it’s the episode where the bridge gets cut off from the rest of the ship, and Troi is in charge of running the ship. O’Brian makes a comment to Ro about how you can’t ‘just reroute power from things’.
You kind of can, though. A solar system on a house can switch between batteries and mains. It can even do that by itself. Surely if the Enterprise needed that kind of thing, it wouldn’t be hard to build into the ship’s design.
Yeah you can shut the power from anywhere if you’re running low. You just need a sufficient switching system and for the issue to be related to supply or drain elsewhere

it’s a funny little nod from the writers.

Yes the buttons can control relay switches.
