Since the first movie, I hoped they were going to explain the machines keeping the humans around and using them as a form energy with a twist on Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.
If the machines were bound by laws similar to the three laws of robotics, which forces them to keep the human race alive, the Matrix offers a good way to control humans and maintain those laws.
The powerplant can be seen from an efficiancy standpoint. The humans are consuming energy in their use of the Matrix, why not try to reclaim some of that energy to run the system?
The machines then run primarally from other energy sources, such as geothermal, tidal, and wind.
The default behavior of windows is to hide the file extension. Quickflick.mpg.exe becomes quickflick.mpg as far as joe user is concerned. If the.exe has a plausible icon for an MPG movie then the average user would assume it's a harmless movie file.
