Environmental costs are( to some minor degree ) included in the energy costs and payed by Bitcoin users. Markets tend to favor efficiency and bitcoins compets with less energy intensive crypto currencies. In the end, the most cost-efficient project should win - which will also reduce environmental costs. This process is slowed down by the fact that only a tiny part of the environmental costs is represented in the energy costs.
