"Partly" for energy wouldn't even work. We're *really* inefficient
batteries. But luckily, there's an even better possibility -- they're
using the humans as a big biological computer. A supercluster of neural
networks. They run the matrix to keep everyone's mind stimulated, and use
the rest of the CPU power for their own jobs. This is particularly cool
because it makes the behavior of the agents -- and Neo's powers -- make
more sense. If the Matrix were run on a big traditional binary-computing
mainframe somewhere, there'd be no need for a movie, because the sysadmins
would have just solved the problem.
